Not necessarily. If their weight issues are caused by hypothyroidism, the person's temperature would be below normal.
Typically, a blood test is done to test for this condition (which means an underactive thyroid) . According to Mark Starr, MD - in his book Hypothyroidism: Type 2, basal temperature is a much more accurate means by which to tell if a person has hypothyroidism. This means, the person takes his or her temperature before rising in the morning for three days in a row. Normal temperature is considered to be 98.7 degrees Fahrenheit. Individuals with hypothyrodism (untreated) will have a body temp of less than 96.7 F.

What is regulating body temperatures?
It fat
How does body weight affect a person's reaction to heat?
Body weight can affect a person's reaction to heat due to differences in metabolic rate and insulation. Higher body weight can lead to increased heat production, which may result in higher core body temperatures and potentially slower cooling rates. Additionally, excess body fat can act as insulation, reducing the body's ability to dissipate heat efficiently.
What does saturated fat do to your body?
It can give you Heart disease and higher cholesterol.also increases your chances of putting on weight!
Describe three benefits of a normal distribution of body fat?
1. Fat helps obtain some of the body's energy.2. Fat helps surround and protect vulnerable organs in the body.3. Fat helps keep warmth for the body during cold temperatures.
Why do fat people have a higher alchohol tolerance?
Fat people may have a higher alcohol tolerance due to a larger body mass, which can dilute the concentration of alcohol in the bloodstream. Additionally, body fat may affect the way alcohol is metabolized, as alcohol is water-soluble and tends to distribute more in lean body mass than in fat tissue. However, tolerance can vary widely among individuals based on factors like genetics, metabolism, and drinking habits, rather than just body composition.
What area of the body takes in the most risky distribution of body fat?
your higher leg (thigh) take the most risky distribution of body fat
What animal would you expect to have more body fat an why?
An animal living in a colder climate, such as an arctic seal, would likely have more body fat to help insulate and provide energy reserves for surviving in the cold temperatures. These animals need the extra fat to stay warm and maintain their energy levels in harsh environments.
The higher the body fat the lower the metaboloc rate?
if you are asking if that is true, not necessarily but metabolism does play a role in body fat amounts
What is the definition of Body Composition?
Body composition refers to the proportion of fat and fat-free mass in the body. Those with a higher proportion of fat-free mass to a lower proportion of body fat have a healthy body composition.
What is the definition of the endomorph body type?
The endomorph body type is characterized by a higher percentage of body fat, a rounder shape, and a tendency to store fat easily.
How do fat people float in water?
Fat is less dense than water, so individuals with a higher percentage of body fat tend to float more easily. The buoyancy provided by fat helps keep them afloat compared to individuals with lower body fat. Additionally, body composition and distribution of fat can also impact how easy or difficult it is for someone to float in water.
What largely determines whether weight is gained as body fat or lean tissue?
It depends on the person - it's genetic. Some people can when they put on wight it turns into body fat, and for others a higher proportion of it is determined into lean tissue.
