This study was conducted to investigate the relation of adaptability to the temperature and wearing behavior in both obese and normal weight children and their mothers' guidance. A questionnaire was used and the subjects were elementary school children in the 4th to the 6th grade (1,501) and their mothers (1,459) living in Seoul, Busan, Daegu, Gwangju, and Andong cities. The children were divided into two groups: a normal weight group (NWG, 1,192) and an obese group (OG, 309). There was no relation between children's adaptability to temperature and their mothers'. OG's mothers were more affirmative than NWG's mothers in purchasing children's clothing which suited them. The more NWG's mothers purchased children's clothing which suited them, the more NWG chose clothes that were conscious of body figure, while OG's mothers chose children's clothing which suited them regardless of OG's consideration of the body figure. It is suggested that an educational program of wearing behavior of obese children and their mothers as well as various measurements for the questionnaire should be developed for more intensive studies in this field.
