Objective To understand the health status of preschool children in Linxiang district, Yunnan Province, so as to provide scientific basis for children health promotion in the minority areas. Methods In 2019, 1 018 preschoolers were randomly selected from Linxiang district of Yunnan Province, and participated in a cross-sectional survey on the growth indicators and the influencing factors. Binary Logistic regression model was used to find out the adverse factors affecting the health status of ethnic minority children. Results The prevalence rate of low body weight, developmental delays and dental caries increased with age. For 6- to 7-year-old children, the prevalence rates of low body weight, developmental retardation and dental caries were 9.7%,13.3% and 71.4%, respectively(χ2=11.327, 22.939, 58.067, P≤0.001). Binary Logistic regression showed that the risk of growth retardation in children of Lahu nationality was 4.332(95%CI:2.103 - 8.924) times higher than that of Han nationality after adjusting for age and family income. Conclusions The major problems affecting children's health inlclude low body weight, developmental delays and dental caries in Linxiang district, Yunnan Province, which should be paid more attention to from the government and relevant departments. Moreover, it is suggested to take regular follow-up visits and special case management, carry out disease prevention and treatment from multiple aspects and in many ways to improve children's health continuously.
