Core body temperature variation in symptomatic and asymptomatic postmenopausal women: brief report
1Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Neurosciences, Wayne State University School of Medicine, Detroit, Michigan, USA. aa2613@wayne.edu
Objective:
To determine if core body temperature (T) fluctuations occur in asymptomatic as well as symptomatic postmenopausal women.
Design:
Tc was recorded with an ingested radiotelemetry pill in symptomatic postmenopausal women who had a hot flash in the laboratory, in symptomatic women who did not have a hot flash in the laboratory, and in asymptomatic postmenopausal women.
Results:
There were no significant differences in mean Tc or Tc variation, as measured by the standard deviation, among the three groups.
Conclusion:
Tc fluctuations are not unique to symptomatic postmenopausal women.
