- With great economic development and rapid urbanization in China, left-behind children whose parents migrate to big cities for job has become a large special population which requires more attention. The present study aims to explore the specific influence of migrant mothers on early child development, especially on social-emotional problems.The data of this study was obtained from a cross-sectional study in 8 counties of central and western rural China. Development status of 1880 children aged <60 months were assessed by Ages & Stages Questionnaire-Chinese Edition (ASQ) and the Ages and Stages Questionnaire: Social Emotional-Chinese Edition (ASQ: SE). Multivariate logistic regressions were used to analyze the association between being left behand by migrant mothers and developmental problems in various domains, while adjusting socio-demographic, socio-economic and perinatal co-variates, and effect modification analysis were conducted to explore the effect of age, gender and birth order.Children left behind by migrant mothers were more likely to have overall suspected developmental delay (odds ratio (OR) = 1.24, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.13-1.35), developmental delay in personal social domain (OR = 1.55, 95% CI = 1.17-2.04) and socio-emotional delay compared with those living with their own mothers (OR = 1.49, 95% CI = 1.11-2.00) after adjusting for potential confounders. Additionally, girls increased the odds of social-emotional problems among children being left behind by migrating mother (P for interaction = 0.037).The study concluded that children left behind by migrant mothers were more likely to have suspected developmental delay compared with their peers living with mothers, especially on social emotional development. Future intervention is needed for this special population and should pay more attention to girls.

- Aim: To measure the development of moderate to late preterm children by Ages and Stages Questionnaires (ASQ) and explore the relationship between moderate to late preterm, diet types and development delay in less-developed rural China.Methods: Data were collected from a cross-sectional community-based survey, which recruited 1748 children aged 1-59 months in eight counties of China. Caregivers of these children completed the Chinese version of ASQ-3 (ASQ-C) while physical examination and questionnaires on socio-demographic characteristics were conducted. Multivariate logistic regressions were used to analyze the association between moderate to late preterm and suspected developmental delay, as well as the association between diet types and suspected developmental delay. Consumption of certain food types was compared between moderate to late preterm and full-term children.Results: The prevalence of suspected overall developmental delay was 31.3% in the moderate to the late preterm group, compared with 21.6% in the full-term group. Moderate to late preterm birth was not associated with total suspected developmental delay and developmental delay in all the domains of ASQ, except for fine motor (OR = 2.43 95% C.I.: 1.04-5.56). The intake of vegetables and fruits had a protective influence on developmental delay in fine motor function, and moderate to late preterm children had lower relative consumption of fruits and vegetables than full-term children.Conclusion: Moderate to late preterm children in rural China showed an increased likelihood of developmental delay in fine motor function. Future interventions to improve the intake of vegetables and fruits in moderate to late preterm children are recommended.
