To assess the national prevalence of short stature, underweight, overweight and obesity in 6-year-old Iranian children before school entry.
Cross-sectional nationwide survey.
Mandatory national screening programme before entrance to elementary school in 2008 in Iran.
All Iranian children entering public and private elementary schools.
The study population comprised 862,433 children (48.4% girls, 77.2% urban resident). Overall, 6.5% of children had short stature, 19.1% were underweight, 12.8% were overweight and 3.4% were obese. There was no significant difference in terms of gender, but considerably larger differences were documented among various provinces.
The double burden of nutritional disorders among young children warrants a multi-faceted national policy with evidence-based local programmes. Such planning needs a comprehensive surveillance system and centralized data registry for children's growth.
评估伊朗 6 岁儿童入学前矮小、消瘦、超重和肥胖的全国流行率。
横断面全国性调查。
2008 年伊朗在进入小学之前进行的强制性全国性筛查计划。
所有进入公立和私立小学的伊朗儿童。
研究人群包括 862433 名儿童（48.4%女孩，77.2%城市居民）。总体而言，6.5%的儿童身材矮小，19.1%消瘦，12.8%超重，3.4%肥胖。性别之间没有显著差异，但在不同省份之间记录到了相当大的差异。
幼儿营养障碍的双重负担需要制定一项多方面的国家政策，该政策应包含基于证据的地方方案。这种规划需要一个全面的监测系统和儿童成长的中央数据登记处。
