To investigate the effects of complementary food supplements on development of infants and young children in poor rural. METHODS In 5 poor counties of Gansu Province, children aged 4 - 12 months were enrolled and divided into two groups. In addition to the usual home-made complementary food, all the children were fed one package of either formula I or formula UI per day, protein and micronutrient were supplemented in formula I group. Formula II provided the same energy as formula I . Both groups were supplemented with vitamin A, weight and height measurements have been done every 3 months, and hemoglobin tests were done every 6 month. Development quotient was measured when they were aged 24 month.
Development quotient of 475 children were tested. The difference of Development quotient between the two groups is statistically significant ( P < 0.05), gross motor development also is different (P < 0.05), there are no difference in time of supplements, nutrition status, sex ratio, mother' s education between two group, but hemoglobin and anemia prevalence of children in formula I group is significant lower than Formula II group.
Micronutrient fortified complementary food supplement is effective for children aged 4 - 12 month in terms of mental development.
探讨辅食补充剂对贫困农村地区婴幼儿发育的影响。方法:在甘肃省5个贫困县,招募4至12个月大的儿童并分为两组。除日常家庭自制辅食外,所有儿童每天喂食一包I型配方奶粉或II型配方奶粉,I型配方奶粉组补充蛋白质和微量营养素。II型配方奶粉提供与I型配方奶粉相同的能量。两组均补充维生素A,每3个月测量体重和身高,每6个月进行血红蛋白检测。在儿童24个月大时测量发育商。
对475名儿童进行了发育商测试。两组之间的发育商差异具有统计学意义(P<0.05),大运动发育也有所不同(P<0.05),两组在补充时间、营养状况、性别比例、母亲教育程度方面无差异,但I型配方奶粉组儿童的血红蛋白和贫血患病率显著低于II型配方奶粉组。
微量营养素强化辅食补充剂对4至12个月大儿童的智力发育有效。
