title: [Epidemiological surveillance of nursery school children in the Hérault for the evaluation of maternal and infant health and welfare services].
abstract: A random sample of 4-5 years old children born in the same year was taken from the infant schools of the Herault (France) and examined by pediatricians during a systematic check carried out by the Mother and Child Protection Department of the Health Service. This gave and estimation of the prevalence of the most widespread health problems: language, motricity, eyesight, hearing, obesity and asthma. Differences according to social and familial factors were found for language and motricity problems, as well as for access to preventive care.
