目的:分析2002年我国5岁以下儿童营养不良状况及1992-2002年十年间的变化趋势。方法:利用“1992全国营养调查”和“2002年中国居民营养与健康调查”中的体格测量资料,采用WHO/NCHS推荐的身高标准体重参考值作为评价标准,应用SAS软件进行统计分析。结果:1992-2002年间,我国城市5岁以下儿童生长迟缓率由1992年的19.1%降为2002年4.9%,农村由35.0%降为14.3%;城市低体重率由18.0%降为7.8%,农村由10.1%降为3.8%。

Objective:To study the trends and prevalence of malnutrition status among Chinese children under 5 years old from 1992-2002. Methods: The anthropometry data were collected from ‘National Nutrition Survey in 1992’ and ‘The Nutrition and Health Status of the Chinese People in 2002’. Age- and sex- specific height and weight reference recommended by WHO/NCHS was used to analyze the data. Result: The prevalence of stunting among urban children less than five years old decreased from 19.1% in 1992 to 4.9% in 2002, and in rural areas from 35.0% to 14.3%. In 2002, 7.8% of children in urban areas were underweight, compared to 18.0% in 1992. while in rural areas was 3.8% in 2002 compared to 10.0% in 1992.
