背景在冷冻食品行业中，暴露于严寒热环境（SCE）是一个重要的危险因素，影响着员工的健康和安全。目的：介绍SCE对核心和皮肤温度影响的知识水平。方法通过检索21个电子数据库和纳入文章的参考文献，采用适当的关键词和表达方式进行综述。仅考虑健康受试者并考虑暴露于SCE条件（- 5°C或更低）的研究文章。结果系统评价纳入13篇符合研究目的、符合纳入和排除标准的文献。所有纳入的研究都测量了核心或皮肤温度。结论：本综述的主要发现表明，在SCE工作是并将继续是一个额外的危险因素。进一步的研究应在实验室和工业冷热环境中对驯化和未驯化的受试者进行研究，以评估核心和皮肤温度的变化及其恢复期。
BACKGROUND Exposure to severe cold thermal environment (SCE) is a significant risk factor in the frozen food industry, influencing health and safety of the employees. OBJECTIVE The aim of this work is to present the level of knowledge on the influence of SCE on core and skin temperatures. METHODS The review has been conducted using appropriated keywords and expressions, by searching 21 electronic databases and references of the included articles. Only research articles with healthy subjects and considering exposure to SCE conditions (- 5°C or lower) were considered. RESULTS Thirteen articles were included in the systematic review which met the research objective and were in accordance with the inclusion and exclusion criteria. All the included studies measured core or skin temperatures. CONCLUSIONS The main findings of this review indicate that working in SCE is and will remain an added risk factor. Further studies should be conducted in laboratory and industrial severe cold thermal environments on acclimatized and non-acclimatized subjects, in order to evaluate core and skin temperature variations and its recovery periods.
