When it comes to the nutrition topic, we did a field investigation regarding the health status of the left-behind children by CAAS in 2007. We used the indicator--BMI (Body mass index) to capture the children's health in migrant and non-migrant households in rural Anhui province. Among the 432 sampled children, only 31.48% are in good health.
As stated above, I consider that:
1. government should make certain prevention measures to strengthen the children’s health education and nutritional intervention, by formulating corresponding policies and regulations to enhance the popularization of nutritional knowledge.
2. great attention should be paid to dietary habits with a focus on forming healthy behaviors.
