North, Hargreaves and McKendrick (1999) found that themed music influenced wine purchases. 1982 Jun 25 247(24):3332–3336.But just because customers aren't paying attention to music, that doesn't mean that retailers don't take advantage of the subtleties of musical choices as a tactic to make customers spend more.

Personal ambient temperature was slightly lower than Baltimore temperatures, whereas an association was not found between body temperature and Baltimore temperatures. Median heart rate increased an average of 0.17 (95% CI, 0.13-0.21) beats per minute for every unit increase in median activity level. Heart rate and activity level were not found to be related to body temperature or ambient temperature, although heart rate was associated with activity level. An average 0.15 degrees F increase in median body temperature was found for each 1 degrees F increase in median ambient temperature. We also examined the associations of Baltimore temperature data with personal ambient temperature and body temperature. Each participant was monitored for approximately 48 hr to examine the association between ambient temperature and body temperature, using regression methods that account for highly correlated data within individuals.

We used a personal monitor to measure body temperature, ambient temperature, heart rate, and activity level of 42 elderly residents of Baltimore, Maryland, in the summer months of 2000. Because of concern for heat-related mortality in vulnerable populations, particularly the elderly, practical epidemiologic methods are needed for the assessment of ambient heat exposure on individuals.
