【Objective】 To explore the correlation of infant feeding index of 6~12 month-old and nutritional status from east Cixi district,Zhejiang province. 【Method】 A total of 355 infants aged 6~12 months were evaluated by Chinese Center for Disease Control Nutrition and Food Safety Feeding Index Score System and the correlation of feeding index and anemia, iron metabolism were analyzed. 【ResultS】 The average feeding index were (9.33±1.45) points,including 6~8 months group (9.51±1.64) points and 8~12 months group (9.17±1.35) points.6~8 months age group and 8~12 months age group with the ferritin in qualified group were significantly higher than the failed group (P<0.05), but not for hemoglobin concentration (P> 0.05) for both 6~8 month group and 8~12 month group.Moreover,the prevalences of iron deficiency in failed group were significantly higher than those of qualified group (P<0.05) but not for anemia for both 6~8 month group and 8~12 month group. 【Conclusion】 Infant feeding index score can accurately reflected iron and anemia status in east Cixi region infant,and it might be an early diagnosis index to provide a reliable evaluation.
