A new study conducted by Stanford University revealed that the average human body temperature is decreasing, challenging the long-held standard established in the 19th century .

The study found that normal human temperature naturally varies between 36.2C and 36.8C ( 97.3F and 98.2F ), suggesting that the commonly accepted average temperature of 36.6 degrees Celsius is incorrect.

The decrease in average body temperature could be linked to improvements in public health.
