Study of Child Feeding and Growth and Development in Poverty Counties of North-west Five Provinces of China

利用1999年卫生部-联合国儿童基金会在中国西部5省40个项目县调查资料，着重分析3岁以下儿童喂养和生长发育现状以及影响儿童中重度低体重和中重度生长迟缓的因素。结果显示：3岁以下儿童母乳喂养率高，但纯母乳喂养率偏低。4个月和6个月及时添加辅食率较低，分别为18.4%和45.1%。4～6个月以内儿童年龄别体重和年龄别身高基本高于世界卫生组织相应的标准。年龄别体重男童从8个月开始到35个月，女童从11月到35个月均低于世界卫生组织的相应标准。影响儿童中重度低体重和中重度生长迟缓的主要因素有：民族、母亲年龄、家庭经济来源、孩子年龄、喂养方式、饮用水和两周腹泻患病。Based on the data obtained on child health in forty UNICEF project counties of Xinjiang, Qinghai, Gansui, Ningxia and Guizhou provinces, the study analyzed child status of feeding, growth and development, as well as factors which influence child under weight and stunting. The result showed that breast-feeding rate under three years old children was high, however pure breast-feeding was not high among the same group. At fourth and sixth month old children the rate of complementary feeding were 18. 4% and 45. 1% respectively. Age-specialweight and age-special-height were higher than that of WHO under fourth or sixth month old children. Age-special-weight was lower than that of WHO from eighth month to three years old children. Male age-special-height was lower than that of WHO from eighth month to three years old children. Female age-special-height was lower than that of WHO from eleventh month to three year olds children. The main factor which influenced child under weight and stunting were nationality,mother's education, sources of family income, child age,the way of feeding, hygiene of drinking water,and suffering from diarrhea.卫生部-联合国儿童基金会综合试点项目0229-331
