Abstract

The survey and research on physical growth and development of children in China can be traced back to the the 1910s and 1920s. After the first national survey on children's physical growth and development was launched in 1975, other representative surveys and researches have emerged in succession. The improvement in growth levels and the decline in undernutrition are major achievements in the field of child development in China. Up to now, China has built a set of growth evaluation system for Chinese children. Children's growth and nutrition in China have entered a new stage of development,with a slowdown in the long-term growth trend and a reversal of the detection rate of overweight and obesity from undernutrition. Overall, the rapid increase of overweight and obesity among children has not been effectively curbed, and China may face the challenge that rural area and medium epidemic area are growing at a high rate.
