    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: To describe the feeding status of infant and young child aged 6-23 months in China. METHODS: Data was from the China Nutrition and Health Surveillance among 0-5 Years Old Children and Lactating Women in 2013.Stratified multistage cluster sampling method was used, and 9983 children aged 6-23 months were involved. We analyzed the infant and young child feeding practices with World Health Organization(WHO) 2021 updated indicators. Data analyses were conducted using the complex weight based on national census from National Bureau of Statistics in 2010.We used Rao-Scott Chi-square test for statistical difference. RESULTS: The proportions of children aged 6-23 months meeting minimum dietary diversity(MDD) was 34.5%(95% CI 28.8%-40.2%); it was over 50% in large cities, and only 20.4% in poor rural areas. The proportions of children aged 6-23 months meeting minimum meal frequency(MMF) was 69.2%(95% CI 64.7%-73.7%); it was about 80% in large cities, medium and small cities, and only 45.3% in poor rural areas. The proportions of children aged 6-23 months meeting minimum acceptable diet(MAD)was 23.7%(95% CI 19.2%-28.2%), it was 44.2% in large cities, and less than 10% in poor rural areas. No consistent differences were observed between boys and girls for all 3 dietary indicators(MDD, MMF and MAD), and there was significant difference in different areas and various months of age(P<0.05). CONCLUSION: The minimum dietary diversity and minimum acceptable diet among children aged 6-23 month were not optimal in China, especially in poor rural areas.
