Self-assessed threshold for cold temperatures and thermal insulation of clothing among poultry workers

Self-assessed threshold for cold temperatures and thermal insulation of clothing among poultry workers

The association between self-assessed cold threshold (CT) and thermal insulation of clothing (I cl ) was analysed in 283 poultry workers in Thailand. The mean CT was 13.5 °C (range − 28–29) and the mean I cl was 1.23 clo (range 0.35–2.21). The adjusted CT remained unchanged at low I cl s (0.35 throu...

Zusammenfassung:The association between self-assessed cold threshold (CT) and thermal insulation of clothing (I cl ) was analysed in 283 poultry workers in Thailand. The mean CT was 13.5 °C (range − 28–29) and the mean I cl was 1.23 clo (range 0.35–2.21). The adjusted CT remained unchanged at low I cl s (0.35 through 1.25 clo) but was estimated to increase by 14.8 °C at high I cl s (1.25 through 2.21 clo). Overall, CT was higher by 2.4 °C (95% confidence interval [CI] 0.3–3.8) at high (≥ 1.25 clo) than that at low (
