What are the Limitations of Using BBT in Epidemiology?
While BBT is a useful tool, it has several limitations:
Variability: BBT can be influenced by multiple factors such as stress, sleep patterns, and environmental changes, making it less reliable if not measured under consistent conditions. Compliance: Accurate BBT measurement requires strict adherence to protocols, and non-compliance can lead to erroneous data. Population Specificity: BBT norms can vary between different populations, necessitating localized baseline studies for accurate interpretation.
