Thirty healthy infants between nine and 19 weeks each had skin and room temperature monitored continuously for a single night. A simultaneous assessment of the insulating quality of the infants bedding was made. The maximum infant skin temperature noted was 37.4 degrees C, the room temperatures ranged from 10.9 degrees C to 26.2 degrees C over all study infants. The insulation score ranged from 17 to 68, with the mean 33 (SD, 13). There was a highly significant correlation between insulation score and maximum infant temperature. A significant inverse correlation between insulation score and outside temperature was noted, but not between insulation score and room temperature. These findings indicate that some infants are inappropriately overdressed for their environmental temperature.
30名年龄在9至19周的健康婴儿连续一个晚上接受了皮肤和室温的持续监测。同时对婴儿床上用品的保暖质量进行了评估。记录到的婴儿最高皮肤温度为37.4摄氏度，所有参与研究的婴儿的室温范围在10.9摄氏度至26.2摄氏度之间。保暖得分在17至68之间，平均分为33（标准差为13）。保暖得分与婴儿最高温度之间存在高度显著的相关性。保暖得分与室外温度之间存在显著的负相关，但与室温之间不存在这种相关性。这些发现表明，一些婴儿在所处环境温度下穿着不当。
