Scientists from Peking University, as part of a research team, discovered that temperature changes in facial skin can be signs of diseases such as cancer, hypertension and diabetes. Research results published In the journal Cell Metabolism.
Using a special thermal imaging device, scientists analyzed the facial temperature of more than 2,800 volunteers aged 21 to 88. They identified several key areas of the face where temperature depends largely on age and health status.
Researchers have found that nose temperature decreases more rapidly with age than other areas of the face. This means that people with warmer noses are more likely to be young or healthy. Metabolic disorders such as diabetes and fatty liver disease have also been found to increase temperature in the eye area. Warm cheeks have been linked to hypertension.
After analyzing blood samples from participants, the team found that the temperature increase around the eyes and cheeks was mainly due to increased cellular activity associated with inflammation. This is accompanied by the repair of damaged DNA and the fight against infections. Chronic, low-grade inflammation is also common in diabetes, cancer and heart disease.
