| Objective: This study investigated the nutritional status of children and adolescents in some counties(cities)in Xinjiang,analyzed and understood the nutritional status of children and adolescents in some counties(cities)in Xinjiang,and explored the relationship between their family environment,dietary intake frequency,and nutritional status.To provide scientific basis for formulating measures to improve the nutritional status of children and adolescents.Methods: Using multi-stage stratified random sampling method,children and adolescents aged 0-17 years were selected from six counties(cities)in Xinjiang,including Korla City,Kashi City,Atushi City,Karamay District,Hotan County and Yining County.The nutritional status of children and adolescents aged 0-17 years was evaluated through questionnaire survey and physical examination,and logistic regression analysis was used to explore the main influencing factors of the nutritional status of children and adolescents.Results: 1.The growth retardation rates of children and adolescents aged 0-2,3-5,6-12,and 13-17 were 5.78%,2.74%,2.93%,and 4.89%,respectively;There were significant differences in growth retardation rates among children and adolescents of different ages,parents’ educational level,and parents’ occupation(P<0.05);The intake frequency of fish,shrimp,beans,and bean products in children with growth retardation aged 3-5 years was significantly lower than that in normal children,with a statistically significant difference(P<0.05);The frequency of cereal intake in children with growth retardation aged 6-12 years was significantly lower than that in normal children,with a statistically significant difference(P<0.05).2.The weight loss rates of children and adolescents aged 0-2,3-5,6-12,and13-17 were 9.31%,4.66%,10.84%,and 9.06%,respectively;There were significant differences in the rate of weight loss among children and adolescents of different ages,urban and rural areas,parents’ educational level,and parents’ occupation(P<0.05);The intake frequency of cereals,milk,fish,shrimp,vegetables,fruits,and eggs in lean children aged 6 to 24 months was significantly lower than that in normal children,with a statistically significant difference(P<0.05);The frequency of cereal intake in lean children aged 3-5 years was significantly lower than that in normal children,with a statistically significant difference(P<0.05);The intake frequency of poultry and vegetables in lean children aged 6-12 years was significantly lower than that in normal children,with a statistically significant difference(P<0.05).3.The anemia rates of children and adolescents aged 0-2,3-5,6-12,and 13-17 years were 15.57%,30.96%,11.86%,and16.21%,respectively;There were significant differences in anemia rates among children and adolescents of different gender,age,and educational level of parents(P<0.05);The intake frequency of fish,shrimp,and vegetables in anemia children aged 6 to 24 months was significantly lower than that in normal children,with a statistically significant difference(P<0.05);The intake frequency of cereals,milk,fish,shrimp,vegetables,beans,and bean products in anemia children aged 3-5 years was significantly lower than that in normal children,with a statistically significant difference(P<0.05);There was no significant difference in the intake frequency of cereals,milk,poultry,fish,shrimp,vegetables,fruits,eggs,beans,and soy products among anemia children aged 6-12 years(P>0.05);4.The overweight rates of children and adolescents aged 0-2,3-5,6-12,and13-17 were 4.82%,5.75%,19.13%,and 16.21%,respectively;There were significant differences in overweight rates among children and adolescents with different gender,age,urban and rural areas,parents’ educational level,and parents’ occupation(P<0.05);The intake frequency of cereals,milk,poultry,vegetables,beans,and soy products in overweight children aged 3-5 years was significantly higher than that in normal children,with a statistically significant difference(P<0.05);The intake frequency of beans and soy products in overweight children aged 6-12 years was significantly higher than that in normal children,with a statistically significant difference(P<0.05);The frequency of milk intake in overweight children aged 13 to 17 years was significantly higher than that in normal children,with a statistically significant difference(P<0.05);5.The obesity rates of children and adolescents aged 0-2,3-5,6-12,and 13-17 were 13.30%,7.12%,9.69%,and7.39%,respectively;There were significant differences in obesity rates among children and adolescents of different ages,urban and rural areas,parents’ educational level,and parents’ occupation(P<0.05);The frequency of poultry meat intake in obese children aged6 to 24 months was significantly higher than that in normal children,with a statistically significant difference(P<0.05);The intake frequency of cereals,fish,shrimp,beans,and bean products in obese children aged 3-5 years was significantly higher than that in normal children,with a statistically significant difference(P<0.05);The intake frequency of fish and shrimp in obese children aged 6-12 years was significantly higher than that in normal children,with a statistically significant difference(P<0.05);6.The results of logistic multivariate analysis showed that urban and rural areas,gender,parental education,parental occupation,and primary caregivers were related to the nutritional status of children and adolescents aged 0-17.Dietary diversity is associated with lean children aged0-2 and anaemic children aged 3-5.Conclusion: There are still problems such as malnutrition and malnutrition in the survey area.Child malnutrition and malnutrition are mainly manifested in weight loss,anemia,and obesity,suggesting that weight loss,anemia,and overweight issues are still the focus of efforts to improve children’s nutritional and health status.It is necessary to strengthen the management of children with malnutrition,strengthen scientific feeding guidance,establish good eating habits,and actively improve children’s nutritional status. |
