Objective To evaluate the quality and associated factors that potentially affect complementary feeding practice in rural areas of Hunan, in order to provide reference for scientific nutritional intervention and guidance for infant feeding. Methods Three indicators minimum dietary diversity(MDD), minimum meal frequency(MMF) and minimum acceptable diet(MAD) were used to evaluate the rationality of complementary feeding.Multivariate Logistic regression model was used to analyze the relevant factors. Results The eligibility rates of MDD, MMF and MAD for children aged 6—23 months were 62.3%, 75.1% and 44.0%.Compared with children aged 6—11 months, children aged 12—17 and 18—23 months had a lower risk for ineligible MDD(OR=0.234, 0.105) and ineligible MAD(OR=0.429, 0.400).Compared with parents who scored less than 60 in knowledge and attitude towards nutrition and health, parents who scored 60—79(OR=0.691, 0.648, 0.662) and 80—100(OR=0.560, 0.400, 0.480) had a lower risk for ineligible MDD, MMF and MAD.Poor economic condition was a risk factor for complementary feeding of infants. Conclusions The complementary feeding of infants and young children in rural areas of Hunan needs to be improved.Younger month-age, lack of parental knowledge about nutrition and health and low regional economic level are high-risk factors for improper complementary feeding.
