Abstract

Objective To explore the effect and strategy of reducing children stunting through micronutrient supplementation in rural areas of Guizhou province. Methods Based on household survey data, the coverage of children VitA supplementation and zinc supplementation from 2008 to 2012 was described in the investigation areas of Guizhou, Logistic regression was used to analyze influence factors of children micronutrient supplementation, the LiST was used to predict the effect on stunting if the coverage of children VitA and zinc supplementation is gradually improved to 99.9% in 2020. Results The coverage of children VitA and zinc supplementation in 2012 in the investigation areas were 50.9% and 31.7%.The main influence of factors children micronutrient supplementation were mother's education and nation.Improving the coverage of VitA and Zinc supplementation to 99.9% in 2020 could reduce stunting rate by 1.26%. Conclusions Improving the coverage of children micronutrient supplementation could effectively reduce stunting rate in rural areas of Guizhou.Interventions that focus on mothers with relatively low education and who come from minorities should be conducted to improve the coverage of children micronutrient supplementation in rural areas of Guizhou.
