The purpose of this study is to investigate the psychological and physiological responses to various air temperature conditions via the preferred air temperature of the elderly. The subjects who were 29 healthy females and 28 healthy males were exposed to 8 established air temperatures(23°C-33°C) for 60 minutes. The lower thigh skin temperature of the ‘High’ group was higher than the other groups at low air temperature. The ‘High’ group shows a decline in thermoregulation greater than the other group. When the ‘Low’ group regulated air temperature freely, they regulated too low an air temperature.
