Abstract
Objective To understand the growth and health condition of children in public and privately operated kindergartens in Nanzheng County, so as to provide reference for establishing health care measures and improving physical quality of children before school. Methods Health examination form for enrollment required by Ministry of Health and Ministry of Education was referred to perform physical examination for children, and the results were evaluated according to the Reference Standard for Growth of Children Aged 7 or Under ( 2009 ) issued by Maternal and Child Health Bureau, Ministry of Health ( median of each age section ± 2S ). Results The number of children with height and weight less than mean value in privately operated kindergartens was larger than that of public ones (χ2 value was 32.908 and 16. 699, respectively, both P < 0. 01 ), and the incidence rate of low weight, growth retardation and wasting in public kindergartens was lower than that of private ones (χ2 value was 5. 810, 8. 529 and 4. 886,respectively, all P <0. 05 ). But the incidence rate of obesity in public kindergartens was significantly higher than that in private ones (^-2 = 19.398,P<0. 01 ). In public kindergartens the incidence of mild and moderate anemia was similar to that in private ones (χ2 =0. 510,P >0. 05 ), and there was no severe anemia. However, the prevalence of trachoma and tonsillitis in private kindergartens was significantly higher (χ2 value was 18. 805 and 16. 218, respectively, both P < 0. 01 ) , so was the prevalence of dental caries ( χ2 = 6. 336, P < 0. 05 ) . The prevalence of poor sight and rickets in public and private kindergartens was similar (χ2 value was 1. 260 and 1. 287, respectively, both P > 0. 05 ). Conclusion There are significant differences in physical growth and prevalence of obesity and trachoma, tonsillitis and dental caries between public and privately operated kindergartens in Nanzheng County, which indicates that the management and surveillance of health care in privately operated nurseries and kindergartens should be strengthened and the health care awareness of parents should be improved.关键词
