title: [Assessment of present nutrition status with weight for height method in children of Guangxi].
abstract: According to the method of weight for height recommended by WHO in 1979. The present nutritional status of 9459 7-10 year old children in 5 prefectures and 3 cities of Guangxi was assessed. The results showed that the deficient nutrition rate was 19.94% and rate of obese children was 1.85%. The latter was lower than that reported by other provinces and foreign countries. The deficient nutrition rate (26.43%) of city children was higher than that of rural children (15.90%), but no statistically significant difference was found between male and female (P greater than 0.05).
