Oral temperatures correlated with sleeping and 24-h metabolic rates adjusted for differences in body size, body composition, and age.
Understanding the correlation between body temperature and metabolic rate can aid in metabolic health assessments.
StrongSupportsmedium confidence
Oral temperatures correlated with sleeping (r = 0.80, P < 0.0001), and 24-h (r = 0.48, P < 0.02) metabolic rates adjusted for differences in body size, body composition, and age.
Why this rating
The correlations are statistically significant and based on empirical data.
