title: [Investigations on the clothing of preschool-children during winter (author's transl)].
abstract: These investigations should control the effect of increased indoor-temperatures in facilities for children and flats on the clothing-habits of 1--3 aged children during the heating period. The indoor- and outdoor-clothing was scored by the number of dress-layers investigated in 977 crèche-children. All these attempts were carried out while 23 days during the winter 1976/77 in 2 crèches which differed significantly referring to the distribution of indoor-temperature. The statistical evaluation results that all children were dressed nearly in the like wise in spite of a considerable difference of the temperature in both crèches; only the covering of the arms was significant less in the warmer new-builded crèch. The investigations showed further that the outdoor-clothing of the children was often not according to the climate. Even 10 degrees C difference of temperature were rarely followed by variations of the outdoor-clothing. Finally the dress of 1--3 aged children can be estimated as too abundant.
