  >37 is the usual round number given for the body temperature, not 36. I don't know which country/region that might be, if you look at a picture of hg thermometer - 37 would be marked red (which doesn't make it precise, of course). Young children do have higher body temperature. There is even pharmacy chain 36.6, pretty much any rounding I have ever heard - 36C. As for quotes, here is another: Most people probably grew up being told a body’s normal temperature was 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit (or 37 degrees Celsius). That widely accepted number originated from a study done in the mid-1800s. But newer studies suggest the average person today actually runs a little cooler than that — somewhere between 97.5 F (36.4 C) and 97.9 F (36.6 C).
