Objective To understand the status of nutrition and feeding practices among children aged 6 to 24 months in four poorest counties in Liangshan prefecture,so as to provide evidence for developing interventions targeted on the promotion of child nutrition and health. Methods From April to July 2018,1 244 children aged 6 to 24 months in four poorest counties were selected by multi-stage random sampling for physical measurement,hemoglobin (Hb) test and caregiver interview. Results The prevalence rates of anemia,underweight and stunting were 51.9%,9.5% and 25.6%,respectively.Multifactor analysis results showed that child's gender,age,mother's education background,mother's occupation,whether the caregiver thinks "complementary feeding should be started at 3 months of age","cereal puree is the most suitable complementary food to add first","animal blood and red meat are the iron-rich foods" and "anemia is related to iron deficiency",whether the child has been breastfed,whether the child has been breastfed continuously after 6 months of age were the main factors associated with the nutritional status of children. Conclusions The nutrition of children aged 6 to 24 months in four poorest areas in Liangshan prefecture need to be improved urgently.Health promotion and education should be strengthened in order to improve caregivers' knowledge of child feeding,thereby promoting the benefit of Yingyangbao and correct inappropriate feeding practices.
