To describe complementary feeding time among 0-5 years old children in 2013 in China.
Data was from the China Nutrition and Health Surveillance in 2013. A stratified multistage cluster sampling was used from 31 provinces( autonomous regions and municipalities) and selected 55 districts/counties. The study included 24 580 children aged 0-5 years. The basic situation and complementary feeding of children aged 0-5 years were collected by questionnaires.
The average time for children aged 0-5 years in China to start complementary foods was 6. 1 months. The urban( 5. 7 months) was earlier than the rural( 6. 4 months), large cities, medium and small cities, general rural and poor rural areas were 5. 5, 5. 8, 6. 9 and 5. 5 months, respectively. The proportions of early complementary feeding( < 4 months) and late complementary feeding( > 9 months) were 10. 2 %( n = 2496) and 9. 5%( n = 2336), which were 7. 3% and 5. 5% respectively in urban area and 13. 1% and 13. 7%respectively in rural area. The proportions of early complementary feeding was the highest( 19. 6%) in poor rural areas, the proportions of late complementary feeding was the highest( 15%) in the general rural areas. The rate of introduction of solid, semi-solid or soft foods was 82. 3%, the urban( 89. 4%) was higher than the rural( 73. 6%), and it was the lowest( 63. 4%) in the poor rural areas.
There were both early complementary feeding and late complementary feeding among 0-5 years children in China in 2013, and the regional difference were significant. It is more likely to add complementary foods too early or too late in rural areasthan in urban areas, especially in poor rural areas.
描述2013年中国0至5岁儿童的辅食添加时间。
数据来源于2013年中国营养与健康监测。采用分层多阶段整群抽样方法，从31个省（自治区、直辖市）中选取55个区/县。研究纳入24580名0至5岁儿童。通过问卷调查收集0至5岁儿童的基本情况和辅食添加情况。
2013年中国0至5岁儿童开始添加辅食的平均时间为6.1个月。城市儿童（5.7个月）早于农村儿童（6.4个月），大城市、中小城市、一般农村和贫困农村地区分别为5.5、5.8、6.9和5.5个月。过早添加辅食（<4个月）和过晚添加辅食（>9个月）的比例分别为10.2%（n=2496）和9.5%（n=2336），其中城市地区分别为7.3%和5.5%，农村地区分别为13.1%和13.7%。过早添加辅食的比例在贫困农村地区最高（19.6%），过晚添加辅食的比例在一般农村地区最高（15%）。固体、半固体或软质食物的引入率为82.3%，城市地区（89.4%）高于农村地区（73.6%），在贫困农村地区最低（63.4%）。
2013年中国0至5岁儿童中存在过早和过晚添加辅食的情况，且地区差异显著。农村地区比城市地区更易出现过早或过晚添加辅食的情况，尤其是贫困农村地区。
