Facial temperature can reveal age and disease, according to a paper published in Cell Metabolism. The study found that facial images can be used to predict an individual's age and certain lifestyle factors, such as diet and sleep patterns. Researchers used thermal scanning cameras to measure temperature at different landmarks on the face and found that temperature distribution changes as individuals age. The study suggests that facial temperature analysis could potentially be used as a biofeedback tool and highlights the wealth of information that can be decoded from facial images.
