【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。

【Objective】 To describe time to start adding complementary food among community children aged 0~3 years and its influencing factors. 【Methods】 Family as the basic unit of investigation, multi-stage sampling was taken; 618 families with children aged 0~3 years were interviewed with self-designed questionnaire in seven pilot units. And then χ² test and Logistic regression were employed to analysis the influencing factors of time to start adding complementary food. 【Results】 In the total 618 parents, the number of parents whose response was "6 months" or "4~6 months" were 135(21.84%) and 407(65.86%) respectively; Major risks of start adding complementary at 4~6 months were low income, low education level and not participated in child health care system. 【Conclusions】 Appropriate technology advocated starting complementary feeding after 6-month-age, however most community children started complementary feeding at 4~6 months.
