At the normal set point, the body temperature, as measured with an oral thermometer, will be approximately 37Â°C (98.6Â°F).

The normal body temperature of a person varies depending on gender, recent activity, food and fluid consumption, time of day, and, in women, the stage of the menstrual cycle. Normal body temperature can range from 97.8Â° F (or Fahrenheit, equivalent to 36.5Â° C, or Celsius) to 99Â° F (37.2Â° C) for a healthy adult.ody temperature may be abnormal due to fever (high temperature) or hypothermia (low temperature). A fever is indicated when body temperature rises above 98.6Â° F orally or 99.8Â° F rectally, according to the American Medical Association.
