Preschool babies face three major health problems.
News Review: The Municipal Women and Children Health Care Center conducted a special survey on the health status of children in this city in the past six years. The results showed that rickets, malnutrition and stunting decreased year by year. However, due to the change of lifestyle, obesity and malnutrition are becoming the main problems affecting the health of a new generation of children. At present, the main health problems faced by children under 7 years old in this city are obesity, nutritional deficiency and hypertension.
Preschool babies face the following three major health problems:
Obesity increased significantly after 5 years old.
An epidemiological survey of simple obesity was conducted among children aged 3-6 years in the city by the Municipal Maternal and Child Center. Among the 15928 children surveyed, * * * have 895 obese children, accounting for 5.6% of the total survey. The survey shows that the detection rate of obesity is on the rise with age, and it rises obviously after 5 years old, reaching a high level at 6-7 years old, which is nearly 4 times that of the 3-year-old group. Especially for 6-year-old urban boys, the obesity rate reached 12.8%. Judging from the degree of obesity, with the growth of children's age, the proportion of mild obesity decreased and the proportion of moderate obesity increased.
Partial eclipse leads to nutritional deficiency.
The vitamin A deficiency rate and folic acid deficiency rate of children under 7 years old in this city reached 65438 09.8% and 65438 02.5% respectively, and the deficiency rate gradually increased with the increase of age. Vitamin A deficiency and anemia are the two most common nutritional deficiencies in childhood. The main reasons for these two nutritional deficiencies are that pregnant women and children are picky eaters, the daily nutritional intake is unbalanced, and the diet lacks animal viscera and green vegetables. To ensure the intake of vitamin A, it is necessary to increase the proportion of animal food. When eating vegetables, you must put a certain amount of oil and give your child animal liver once a week. Folic acid in various fruits and fresh vegetables is usually high, so parents should ensure their children's daily intake of vegetables and fruits.
Parents should pay attention to their children's abnormal blood pressure.
The Women and Children's Center conducted a special blood pressure survey on 5940 children aged 3-6 in urban and rural areas of the city/KLOC-0. The results showed that the detection rate of hypertension in children was 9.8%, which reached 10.8% in urban group, and 7.5% of children's blood pressure was at the critical value. More than 95% of parents who have detected high blood pressure in their children have not found any abnormality in their children before.
