本研究的目的是调查热带（马来西亚人）和温带土著（日本人）之间的皮肤热感觉阈值和阈值间感觉区的种族差异。结果表明：（1）马来西亚男性比日本男性在更高的皮肤温度（Tsk）下感知前额的温暖（p<0.05），而手和脚的凉爽感觉在较低的Tskin马来西亚人（2）总体而言，日本男性对体温的敏感性高于马来西亚男性;（3）日本人最敏感的体温区域是前额，马来西亚人的体温敏感性差异小于日本人;（4）阈间感觉区的种族差异在额部尤为明显（日本人为1.9± 1.2 ° C，马来西亚人为3.2±1.6°C，p<0.05）。总之，热带土著人倾向于在较高的Tsk和较慢的相同的升温速度感知温暖，并有更广泛的阈值间的感觉区比温带土著人。
The purpose of this study was to investigate ethnic differences in cutaneous thermal sensation thresholds and the inter-threshold sensory zone between tropical (Malaysians) and temperate natives (Japanese). The results showed that (1) Malaysian males perceived warmth on the forehead at a higher skin temperature (Tsk) than Japanese males (p<0.05), whereas cool sensations on the hand and foot were perceived at a lower Tskin Malaysians (p<0.05); (2) Overall, the sensitivity to detect warmth was greater in Japanese than in Malaysian males; (3) The most thermally sensitive body region of Japanese was the forehead for both warming and cooling, while the regional thermal sensitivity of Malaysians had a smaller differential than that of Japanese; (4) The ethnic difference in the inter-threshold sensory zone was particularly noticeable on the forehead (1.9±1.2C for Japanese, 3.2±1.6°C for Malaysians, p<0.05). In conclusion, tropical natives had a tendency to perceive warmth at a higher Tskand slower at an identical speed of warming, and had a wider range of the inter-threshold sensory zone than temperate natives.
