Children less than 3 years old behaved "wrong eating habits" more than those in other age groups(χ2=13.37,P=0.004).Children more than 2 years old behaved "poor appetite" more than those in other age groups(χ2=7.97,P=0.047).This study showed that the prevalence rates were higher in the problems of unstable eating places,doing other things while eating and eating with toys.Logistic analysis showed that children,whose father had the culture level under junior high school,had more eating behavior problems.The effect of income depended on the father's culture level.To the children whose father had culture more than high school,the higher family income was,the more eating behavior problems children had. 【Conclusion】 Health education should be conducted in parents in Harbin and scientific feeding attitude and style should be established to improve good eating habits in children.
