Can Adipose Tissue Influence the Evaluation of Thermographic Images in Adolescents?

Abstract: Infrared thermography (IRT) is a technology easy to use for clinical purposes as a pre-diagnostic tool for many health conditions. However, the analysis process of a thermographic image needs to be meticulous to make an appropriate decision. The adipose tissue is considered a potential influence factor in the skin temperature (Tsk) values obtained by IRT. This study aimed to verify the influence of body fat percentage (%BF) on Tsk measured by IRT in male adolescents. A total of 100 adolescents (16.79 ± 0.97 ye… Show more

“…Our results are consistent with those observed in the study by Leppäluoto [32], who noted a higher skin temperature after a series of WBC treatments which was not accompanied by a significant change in internal temperature. Adipose tissue is considered a potential influencing factor on global and local skin temperature (Tsk) values [46,68,[71][72][73], but in the current study, the increase in the MTsk (∆MTsk: +0.89 ± 0.52 • C) showed no association with a reduction in the FM% (Me; QD) (∆FM: −0.7; −2.85, −0.5%) r = 0.17 or FM (∆FM: −0.6; −2.2, −0.2 kg) r = 0.12 after a series of ten WBC treatments. An elevated skin temperature after adaptation to cold, combined with a decrease in the vasoconstrictive response to cold, may be an element of cold habituation.…”
