十堰市城区3~6岁儿童血清维生素A水平与影响因素分析

目的 了解十堰市城区3~6岁儿童维生素A营养状况及其影响因素, 为制订干预对策提供依据。方法 抽取十堰市城区某幼儿园3~6岁儿童225名, 通过问卷调查、体格检查和实验室检查了解被调查儿童的家庭情况、饮食习惯、生长发育情况及健康状况等。以高效液相色谱法测定血清视黄醇的含量。结果 205名儿童的血清维生素A均值为(1.27±0.40)μmol/L, 亚临床维生素A缺乏(subclinical vitamin A deficiency, SVAD)患病率为5.37%, 可疑SVAD患病率为21.46%。单因素分析发现年龄、母亲的文化程度、家庭年总收入、家庭年饮食消费开支、食欲、血红蛋白、脂肪吸收试验、营养素补充剂服用情况有统计学意义。多因素分析发现只有脂肪吸收试验有统计学意义, 脂肪吸收试验阳性组SVAD患病率明显高于阴性组。结论 SVAD是十堰市城区幼儿园集体儿童尚存的营养问题之一, 应加强幼儿园儿童SVAD和可疑SVAD的防治工作。
