Title: BODY TEMPERATURES OF HEAT-ACCLIMATIZED SUBJECTS IN THE EQUATORIAL TROPICS
Abstract: The mean skin temperature of eleven Asian subjects, at rest in an equatorial climate, was higher than that of people in a temperate climate. The skin temperature of the habitually unclothed forearms of the heat-acclimatized subjects was also higher than the skin temperature of the clothed forearms of men in a temperate climate. The skin temperature of the lower limbs of the tropical subjects decreased from the thigh towards the foot; the skin temperature of the upper limbs increased distalwards so that the hand was warmer than the upper arm.
