Beurer tip
• Temperatures measured with different thermometers should never be compared
with one another.
• Tell your doctor what type of thermometer you used to take your temperature and
on what part of the body. Also bear this in mind while you are monitoring yourself.
Holding the thermometer for too long in the hand before taking a measurement can
cause the device to warm up. This means the measurement could be incorrect.
Influences on body temperature
• A person’s individual metabolism
• Age
Body temperature is higher in babies and toddlers than in adults. Greater temperature
fluctuations occur faster and more often in children. Normal body temperature decreases
with age.
• Clothing
• Outside temperature
• Time of day
Body temperature is lower in the morning and increases throughout the day towards
evening.
• Activities
Physical and, to a lesser extent, mental activities increase body temperature.

Beurer tip
Taking the body temperature provides a current measurement of a person’s
temperature. If you are uncertain about interpreting the results or if the values are
abnormal (e.g. fever), please consult your doctor. This also applies in the case of
slight temperature changes if there are other symptoms of illness such as agitation,
severe sweating, flushed skin, fast pulse rate, tendency to collapse, etc.
