OBJECTIVE: To describe the rate of and identify the factors associated with introduction of solid, semi-solid or soft foods among infants aged 6-8 months in poor rural areas.
METHODS: A total of 1449 rural infants aged 6-8 months in 30 poor counties of Wuling Mountains and Luoxiao Mountains in Hunan Province were selected by probabilityproportional-to-size sampling( PPS) in August 2015. And designed questionnaires were used to collect information of infants feeding in the past 24 h and information of personal and family. The rate of introduction of solid, semi-solid or soft foods among infants aged 6-8 months was calculated according to WHO Indicators for Assessing Infant and Young Child Feeding Practices. Logistic regression analysis were used to analyze factors influencing introduction of solid, semi-solid or soft foods on infants aged 6-8 months.
RESULTS: 95. 4%( 1382/1449) of infants aged 6-8 months received solid, semi-solid or soft foods. Multi factors analysis showed that Tujia ethnic infants( OR = 2. 32, 95% CI1. 55-3. 47) and main caregivers' unqualified feeding knowledge( OR = 1. 39, 95% CI1. 10-1. 75) were risk factors of introduction of solid, semi-solid or soft foods.
CONCLUSION: Most infants aged 6-8 months in poor rural areas received solid, semi-solid or soft foods. Infants who were Tujia ethnic or with unqualified caregivers ' feeding knowledge had higher risk of introduction of solid, semi-solid or soft foods.
