Abstract:Objective To investigate the differences in the growth and nutritional status between children in suburban areas and in ordinary rural areas in Nanchong City and to explore the factors affecting their growth so as to provide scientific evidence for further developing nutrition and health education for rural children. Methods A multi-stage stratified sampling method was used to select 6 primary schools in Xiaolong Town, Xichong County and Pengan County in Nanchong City in April, 2012. Height and weight were measured and food intake was surveyed by questionnaire among 1,334 children of Grade 5 and 6 . Besides, nutritional knowledge, attitude and behavior of the children’s guardians were investigated. SPSS13.0 software was applied to statistical analysis. Results The height ((146.22±8.28)cm) and weight ((37.95±7.98)kg) of the suburban children were significantly higher than those of the rural children ((142.83±8.32)cm, (34.43±7.65)kg) (P<0.05), and their growth retardation rate (7.42% vs. 20.43%) and weight loss rate (0.55% vs. 5.60%) were significantly lower. There were statistically significant differences in the intake of fruits, fish and poultry, eggs and vegetables between the suburban children and the rural ones (P<0.05). The proportions of intake of fruits, fish and poultry and eggs of the suburban children were higher than those of the rural children, while their proportion of vegetable intake was lower. There were statistically significant differences in the family economic situation, guardian’s gender, educational background, relationship with the children, nutrition knowledge, attitude and behavior as well as parents as migrant laborers between the suburban children and the rural ones (P<0.05). The family economy, the proportion of mothers as the major guardian, the proportion of parents as migrant laborers and the nutrition knowledge, attitude and behavior of the suburban children were superior to those of the rural children. Conclusions The growth and nutritional status of the suburban children are better than those of the rural children in Nanchong City in 2012. Their food intake is relatively reasonable and their guardians’ nutrition knowledge, attitude and behavior are generally better. Accordingly, relevant departments should take targeted measures to further improve the nutrition knowledge of the guardians, change their attitude and correct their wrong behavior so as to improve the dietary nutrition of the suburban and rural children.
