Beijing, China – A groundbreaking study has discovered a correlation between facial
temperature and various chronic diseases, including diabetes and high blood pressure. The
research, conducted by Jing-Dong Jackie Han and her team at Peking University, analyzed
the facial temperatures of over 2,800 participants and found significant associations with
metabolic disorders.

Nose Temperature Key to Youthful Aging

The study revealed that the temperature of the nose decreases with age at a faster rate
than other parts of the face, indicating that individuals with warmer noses have a younger
thermal age.

Eye and Cheek Temperatures Linked to Health Issues

The research also found that temperatures around the eyes tend to increase with age and
are higher in individuals with metabolic disorders. Additionally, people with elevated blood
pressure have higher cheek temperatures.

Early Disease Detection Possible

The study suggests that facial temperature may be a useful tool for diagnosing and
detecting metabolic diseases, enabling early intervention and treatment.

Exercise Found to Reduce Thermal Age

The researchers also discovered that physical activity, such as rope jumping, can reduce
thermal age by five years, promoting healthy aging and disease-free living.

Future Research Directions

The team plans to investigate the application of thermal facial imaging in predicting other
diseases, such as sleeping disorders and cardiovascular problems. This study’s findings
have the potential to revolutionize healthcare and promote healthy aging.
