Compared current data with the 1992 National Nutrition and Health Survey (NNHS1992).

Main Results:

Significant improvements in body weight and height for preschool children.
Marked reduction in malnutrition prevalence (underweight, stunting).
Persistent micronutrient deficiencies (calcium, zinc, vitamins A, B1, B2) in children.
Prevalence of overweight and obesity in children under 6 years is 3.4% (Chinese standards) or 2.0% (WHO standards).

Conclusions:

While malnutrition has decreased, micronutrient deficiencies remain prevalent.
Childhood growth and development are not meeting expectations.
China faces a dual burden of malnutrition and increasing childhood obesity, requiring targeted interventions.
