Abstract To understand the malnutrition status of infants during the health examination, to analyze the influencing factors of the malnutrition of the infants, and so as to provide scientific evidences for formulating the effective prevention and control strategies for the malnutrition of the infants. Methods: According to the convenient sampling method, 290 infants during the health examination in Nanjing children's hospital between January and December 2021 were enrolled as the investigation objects. The gestational weeks at birth, the birth weight, the delivery modes and the feeding of the infants were investigated. In 6 months of the infants after correction, the malnutrition status of the infants was assessed by the nutritional risk screening scale. The influencing factors of the malnutrition of the infants were analyzed by logistic regression model. Results: 290 questionnaires of the nutritional risk screening scales were distributed, and there were 283(97.59%) availed questionnaires recycled. Among 283 infants, there were 21(7.4%) cases with malnutrition. Univariate analysis showed that the malnutrition of the infants was correlated with their gestational weeks at birth, birth weight, delivery modes, neonatal respiratory distress syndrome, bronchoalveolar dysplasia, 1 min Apgar score, initial total enteral nutrition time, calories in the first 1 week after birth, score of nutritional risk screening scale and feeding modes after discharge. Multivariate analysis showed that the low birth weight and the non-exclusive breastfeeding after discharge of the infants were the independent risk factors of their malnutrition occurrence (P<0.05). Conclusion: The malnutrition status of the infants during the health examination is not bad in this survey. The low birth weight and the non-exclusive breastfeeding after discharge of the infants are all the independent risk factors of their malnutrition occurrence.
