Abstract：Objective To analyze the growth and development and nutritional status of children with 3-14 years old in Xichang City of Sichuan Province, and provide guidance for improving children’s health. Method The stratified cluster sampling method was used to select 1332 children from 19 schools in Xichang City of Sichuan Province from April to May 2018. Their height and weight were measured, body mass index (BMI) was calculated, and their nutritional status was evaluated according to the World Health Organization standard table of height and weight for children. Results The height of girls in 10-<11 years old group, 11-<12 years old group and 12-<13 years old group were significantly higher than those of boys, and the differences were statistically significant(all P < 0.05), and the height of boys in other groups were significantly higher than those of girls, and the differences were statistically significant (all P < 0.05). Weight and BMI of boys in all groups were significantly higher than those of girls, and the differences were statistically significant (all P < 0.05). The height of boys and girls before seven years old were lower than those of the national level, while the height of boys after 12 years old and girls after eight years old were higher than those of the national level. The weight of boys after six years old were higher than those of the national level, and the weight in each period of girls were higher than those of the national level. BMI of boys and girls in each period were higher than those of the national level. The rate of obesity and overweight in boy group were significantly higher than those in girl group, and the rate of emaciation and low body weight in boy group were significantly lower than those in girl group, and the differences were statistically significant(all P < 0.05). There were no significant differences in growth retardation rate and malnutriton rate between two groups (P ＞ 0.05). There were statistically significant differences in the rates of obesity, overweight, emaciation, low body weight and growth retardation in the pre-school-age group, school-age group and adolescent group (P < 0.05); however, there was no statistical significance in the rate of malnutriton among three groups (P > 0.05). Conclusion The overall development of children with 3-14 years old in Xichang City of Sichuan Province is good, but the rate of obesity and overweight are high. Malnutrition is mainly manifested as emaciation. It is necessary to strengthen reasonable nutrition publicity and education, urge nutrition balance, develop good living habits, reduce long-time sit in and increase activity.
