Wrist temperature traces by (a) chronotype (morningness/eveningness), and by case-status in pairs matched by age and sex for (b) NAFLD, (c) type 2 diabetes, (d) hypertension, (e) pneumonia, and (f) Parkinson’s disease. Please note that the temperature curve for Parkinson’s disease in Panel (f) separates from the controls but with opposite directionality compared to the disease conditions displayed in panels (b–e). In plots with just two groups (bf), the interquartile range (25th to 75th percentiles) of the population are displayed in shaded regions (controls in blue, cases in yellow and overlap in grayish green). Wrist temperature is normalized so that each individual’s daily median is 0. Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
