Abstract

This cross-sectional study assessed the association between dietary diversity score and risk of growth failure among 605 Iranian children aged 7 to 12 years. Dietary intake was evaluated by a validated semiquantitative food frequency questionnaire and dietary diversity score was calculated for each participant. Weight and height of children were measured and anthropometric indices including underweight, stunting, and thinness were assessed. The probability of having underweight (P for trend = .001) and stunting (P for trend <.0001) reduced with enhancing quartile of dietary diversity score. The highly varied diets may be useful in preventing growth failure in children.

低饮食多样性评分与儿童生长衰竭风险增加有关

这项横断面研究评估了605名7至12岁伊朗儿童的饮食多样性评分与生长衰竭风险之间的关系。通过经验证的半定量食物频率问卷评估饮食摄入量，并计算每个参与者的饮食多样性得分。测量了儿童的体重和身高，并评估了包括体重不足、发育迟缓和消瘦在内的人体测量指标。体重不足（趋势P=0.001）和发育迟缓（趋势<.0001）的概率随着饮食多样性得分四分位数的提高而降低。高度多样化的饮食可能有助于预防儿童生长发育迟缓。
