Abstract：OBJECTIVE To investigate the dynamic changes of infant nutritional status in Huoqiu County,and to provide data support for further implementation of child nutrition improvement project.METHODS The townships undergoing monitoring and evaluation of infant nutrition feeding in Huoqiu from 2019 to 2022 were selected,and the samples were chosen by combining PPS sampling and random equidistant sampling,with a sampling probability proportional to the number of live births.The weight,body length and hemoglobin of the selected infants aged 6～23 months were measured or tested,and paper questionnaires were distributed to the infant caregivers.RESULTS 1 244 infants aged 6～23 months and their caregivers were surveyed from 2019 to 2022,with statistic differences detected in body length,weight and hemoglobin of the infants during different years(χ2=0.180,2.770,2.810,P＜0.05),which rose from 78.30 cm,10.32 kg,and 115.58 g/L in 2019 to respectively 79.50 cm,10.43 kg and 118.39 g/L in 2022,an increase of respectively 1.20 cm,0.10 kg and 2.81 g/L.The detection rates of overweight,obesity and anemia in the infants respectively decreased from 4.25%and 25.16%in 2019 to 1.98%and 13.86%in 2022,a decrease of 53.41%and 44.91%,respectively.The detection rate of malnutrition diseases-underweight,growth retardation and emaciation-increased from 3.27%in 2019 to 6.27%in 2022,an increase of 91.74%.CONCLUSION The prevalence rate of infant anemia in Huoqiu County has been significantly improved through the implementation of the child nutrition improvement project,but concerns on malnutrition diseases still remain to be raised.
