摘要： 【目的】 了解社区0~3岁儿童开始添加辅食时间及其影响因素。 【方法】 以家庭为调查基本单位,采用多阶段抽样方法和自行设计的调查表在七个试点地区共调查618位儿童家长;运用χ²检验和Logistic回归统计学方法分析0~3岁儿童开始添加辅食时间影响因素。 【结果】 在调查的618名0~3岁儿童家长中,开始添加辅食时间回答6月龄的有135人(21.84%),回答4~6月龄的有407人(65.86%)。家长文化程度低、家庭月收入低及没有参加系统儿童保健等都是4~6个月开始添加辅食的危险因素(P<0.05)。 【结论】 适宜技术提倡在6月龄之后开始添加辅食,然而社区大部分0~3儿童仍在4~6个月开始添加,故6月龄之后开始添加辅食的宣传教育仍需加强。
