Key Points

To evaluate the feasibility and characteristics of medical infrared thermography for assessing lower limb physiological conditions.
Conducted an experimental, blinded, single-stage, uncontrolled, single-center study spanning 2.5 months in individuals aged 18–21 years without lower extremity somatic diseases.
Captured thermographic images of anterior and posterior limb surfaces, recording temperatures at anatomical points corresponding to major vascular pathways.
Evaluated the percentage change in temperature along limbs and analyzed its relationship with subcutaneous fat volume using chi-square analysis.
Demonstrated a consistent physiological decrease in skin temperature from proximal to distal segments across the lower limbs (p < 0.001).
Found that while absolute point temperatures correlated with subcutaneous fat volume, the percentage change in temperature was independent of subcutaneous fat thickness.
