Abstract
The biological rhythms of rectal temperature were documented in young (circadian variations) and elderly (circadian and seasonal variations) human subjects either in apparent good health or suffering from senile dementia of Alzheimer type (SDAT). All the subjects were synchronized. Data obtained showed a decrease of the body core temperature rhythm amplitude in the healthy elderly for each documented season but not in patients with SDAT. Seasonal variations in these rhythms were observed in these elderly groups of persons.Entities:
