**The Smaller the Temperature Difference between Day and Night, the Higher the Risk of Disease**
A groundbreaking study conducted by researchers at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine has revealed a simple yet effective method for predicting the risk of various diseases. Through the measurement of wrist temperature, scientists found a strong correlation between a small temperature difference between day and night and an increased likelihood of developing approximately 73 different diseases, including fatty liver disease, kidney failure, type 2 diabetes, and high blood pressure.
In order to gather data for their study, the research team enlisted the participation of around 92,000 individuals from the UK Biobank. These participants were equipped with specialized measuring devices on their wrists, allowing for the continuous monitoring of body temperature over the course of a week. The analysis of the collected data took into account factors such as circadian rhythms, sleep-wake behavior, and environmental conditions, including the drop in core body temperature during sleep.
The results of the study indicated that the daily variations in wrist temperature curve hold significant implications for one’s overall health. Notably, individuals with a minimal temperature difference between day and night were at a higher risk of developing chronic diseases. The research team found that lower body temperature rhythms were strongly associated with up to 73 specific diseases. It became evident that those with a reduced temperature fluctuation were more susceptible to contracting these ailments.
Among the notable findings, individuals with a small temperature difference between day and night faced a staggering 91% higher risk of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. Moreover, the risk of type 2 diabetes increased by 69%, kidney failure by 25%, high blood pressure by 23%, and pneumonia by 22%.
Dr. Karsten Skarke, a member of the research team specializing in Experimental Therapeutics, explained, “Previous studies have highlighted the link between disrupted body temperature rhythms and various diseases such as metabolic syndrome and diabetes. Our research presents the potential to accurately anticipate future risks associated with conditions like high blood pressure and liver disease.” Dr. Skarke further added, “In the future, digital biomarkers will play a crucial role in assessing the risk of specific diseases and guiding treatment and prevention strategies.”
The groundbreaking study, titled “Diurnal Wrist Temperature Rhythms are Associated with Future Disease Risk in the UK Biobank,” has been published in the prestigious academic journal Nature Communications.

The smaller the temperature difference between day and night, the higher the risk of disease Research has shown that the risk of various diseases can be predicted with a simple method of measuring the temperature of the wrist area.
According to a research team at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, when measuring body temperature on the wrist, they found that people with a small temperature difference between day and night have a high risk of developing around 73 diseases, including fatty liver disease, kidney failure , type 2 diabetes, and high blood pressure.
The research team had around 92,000 people who participated in the UK Biobank wear measuring devices on their wrists for a week and analyzed changes in body temperature. Changes in body temperature between day and night included circadian rhythms and sleep-wake behavior, together with the influence of environmental conditions, such as the drop in core body temperature during sleep.
As a result of the study, it was found that the daily high and low points seen in the wrist temperature curve have important implications for health. The smaller the change, the higher the risk of chronic disease.
The research team found that up to 73 diseases were significantly associated with lower body temperature rhythms. In other words, it was revealed that people with a small difference in body temperature between day and night have a high risk of contracting these diseases.
People with a small difference in body temperature between day and night had a 91% higher risk of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. The risk of type 2 diabetes increased by 69%, kidney failure by 25%, high blood pressure by 23%, and pneumonia by 22%.
“Previous studies have shown that disturbed body temperature rhythms are associated with several diseases, such as metabolic syndrome and diabetes,” said Dr. Karsten Skarke (Experimental Therapeutics), a member of the research team. “It presented the possibility of revealing future risks for diseases such as high blood pressure and liver disease.” He added, “In the future, digital biomarkers will be used to understand the risk of developing certain diseases and determine treatment or prevention options.”
The results of this study (Diurnal wrist temperature rhythms are associated with future disease risk in the UK Biobank) were published in the international academic journal ‘Nature Communications’.
