Abstract

Objective To master Wuhan children's blood lead level trends and the relationship between diet and the development of nutrition interventions and reduce children's blood lead levels. Method Stratified random sample of all children aged 0~3years old from two city streets;and all children over 3years old from six different grades kindergarten were selected as the research object.Mothers of children were requested to fill out the survey questionnaire,children's finger blood were collected,tungsten boat atomic absorption spectrometry was used to test blood lead values. Results Incidence of childhood lead poisoning was 0.27%.High blood lead was 6.97%,incidence of boys was significantly higher than that of girls(P0.001),there was a significant difference(P0.001)in blood lead levels of children of different ages,with the highest blood lead levels of children in 2years of age group.Children prefer to eat popcorn,and egg categories of food had higher detection rate of blood lead poisoning;while children had taking calcium,iron,zinc preparations lower detection rate of high blood lead and lead poisoning.Eating popcorn and egg were risk factors for high blood lead and lead poisoning. Conclusions Children and parents need to make the necessary education,and advocate a balanced diet.The nutrition interventions should be preferred to reduce children's blood lead levels,while improving traditional food processing and storage technology.
