Clinical Trial Service Unit and Epidemiological Studies Unit, Nuffield Department of Population Health, University of Oxford, Oxford, UK.

Article Synopsis
  • Non-optimal temperature significantly contributes to global disease burden, but most studies have focused on outdoor temperatures, potentially leading to misclassification of personal temperature exposure.
  • The CKB-Air study analyzed temperature data from 477 participants across personal, household, and outdoor settings during summer and winter in China, recording around 88,000 person-hours of data.
  • The study found strong correlations between personal and household temperatures in winter and significant predictors for personal temperature exposure, achieving good prediction accuracy, while identifying a U-shaped relationship between personal temperature exposure and heart rate.
