UNLABELLED
In this study 99 women were examined by thermography to diagnose coldness. We investigated the correlation between the surface temperature of various parts of the body and the atmospheric temperature during a day in 66 women with coldness and 33 without coldness by means of thermography.
RESULTS
1) Peripheral portions of the lower limbs giving readings lower than 26 degrees C in thermography were found in 67% of women with coldness and in 6% of those without coldness. 2) In the group of women with coldness, the mean surface temperatures in the peripheral portions of limbs were closely correlated with the mean atmospheric temperatures (r = 0.63, p less than 0.001), and the gradient of temperatures from the abdomen to the peripheral portions of limbs was greater at lower mean atmospheric temperatures. 3) A significantly large number (p less than 0.001) of women with coldness had a gradient of more than 6 degrees C observed compared with the other group. 4) The gradient was significantly larger (p less than 0.001) in women with coldness when the mean atmospheric temperature was under 15 degrees C than in women without coldness.
CONCLUSION
When the gradient of the surface temperature from the abdomen to the peripheral portions of the limbs in thermography was more than 6 degrees C, we might be able to conclude that the subjects have coldness.
