Abstract BackgroundAllergic rhinitis is a disease associated with impaired quality of life and heredity. This study aimed to investigate the association of allergic rhinitis (AR) in preschool children with exposure to indoor environment-related factors early in life. MethodsIn August 2019, we implemented a study among 2020 preschool children in Urumqi City using a case-control design. The study included parental reports for the occurrence of AR in children, parental history of respiratory disease, and indoor environmental correlates of maternal exposure from 1 year prior to pregnancy until the child's age of 0-1 years.ResultsMode of birth (caesarean section) (OR=1.31, 95%CI=1.02~1.67), father with AR (OR=2.67, 95%CI=2.08~3.44), mother with AR (OR=3.70, 95%CI=2.88~4.74), mother with asthma (OR=3.11, 95%CI=1.18~8.20), and mother with newly purchased furniture in the parents' residence during pregnancy (OR=1.49, 95%CI=1.03~2.14) were risk factors for AR in children. ConclusionsThe focus of allergic rhinitis should should be on children with a family history of AR and asthma and caesarean delivery. Primary prevention efforts for AR in preschool children are avoiding exposure of children to indoor environmental hazardous factors early in life.

Abstract Background Adequate calcium intake in childhood is essential for bone health, and dairy products are an important dietary source. However, children's milk consumption has reduced over the past decade in developing countries. Food preferences are a key determinant of consumption, and those developed in early life can persist into adulthood. Therefore, promoting a liking for milk before school age may be effective in improving milk consumption further into childhood. The aim of this analysis is to explore the factors associated with liking of milk among preschool children. Methods Questionnaires were completed by parents of 2-5 year-old children as part of a pilot intervention aiming to increase milk consumption in 12 preschools. Chi-squares and hierarchial logistic regression were used to examine the association between children's liking of milk, as reported by parents, and child-related factors (infant feeding; demographics; diet) and parent-related factors (attitudes; milk consumption and liking; education). Results Responses from 319 parents of 2-5 year-old children (50.5% male, 49.5% female) were analysed. Ninety-two percent of respondents were mothers and 85% of parents reported that their children liked the taste of milk. In a logistic regression model (N = 281) parents' belief that it is difficult to encourage their child to drink milk was associated with a lower likelihood of children liking the taste of milk (OR = 0.028; CI = 0.011, 0.075; P < 0.001). Liking of milk was not significantly associated with other factors examined (P < 0.05). Conclusions The present analysis suggests that parents' self-efficacy in encouraging their child to drink milk may be important in influencing their child's liking of its taste, and should be considered in interventions aiming to improve milk consumption. The taste of milk was well-liked in this cohort of preschool children and therefore, further research is necessary in a cohort with varying levels of milk consumption and liking of milk. Key messages Parental beliefs should be included as intervention targets when aiming to improve a liking for milk among preschool children. Further research on the determinants of milk consumption and liking of milk is necessary in diverse cohorts of preschool children.

Abstract Background; The prevalence of stunting and helminthiasis among children in Uganda and Sub-Saharan Africa is still high and if Uganda is to achieve the food-related Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), it must urgently invest in improving nutrition and sanitation . In a food rich area like Bushenyi, chronic under nutrition could be due to several other factors than mere scarcity of food. This study was carried out to determine the prevalence and socio-clinical factors responsible for chronic under nutrition (stunting) among pre-school children aged 1-5 years in selected Health facilities in Bushenyi district.Methods: A cross-sectional study on prevalence of chronic under nutrition (stunting) and related factors among children 1-5 years. Data was collected using a pre-tested questionnaire and using anthropometric measurements (height/ length), and standard laboratory procedures (stool analysis for eggs of soil transmitted helminthes), then recorded in a data card. Stool samples were collected from 206 children and analyzed for soil transmitted helminthes’ eggs using Formol-ether concentration method. Results: Majority were female (59.7%) aged above two years, with a median age of 2.1 years (IQR= 1.6-2.8). Most children (92.2%) stayed with their parents and resided within Bushenyi municipality (54.9%). Many lived within an extended family (52.4%) and 92.2% had been brought to the health center by their parents who were married (71.8%). children who were likely to be stunted were those who drank unboiled water (aPR=1.21, 95%CI 1.10-1.34) and were exclusively breastfed (aPR=1.35, 95% CI 1.11-1.65). The proportion of children with stunting was 89.3% (95%CI 83.3-92.9).Although most of the children were dewormed twice a year (64.1%), they did not wash their hands after using the toilet and before eating (84.6%). Furthermore, a majority of them (76.2%) rarely wore shoes. Almost all of the caregivers (96.1%) reported that they had never received any form of education on how to feed their children. However, many of the children (74.3%) had or were being exclusively breastfed and half of them (50.5%) drank boiled water. A few of the children (10.7%) were infested with soil transmitted helminthesConclusion: The prevalence of chronic malnutrition is in Bushenyi district is very high despite the abundance of food. This is due to several factors including parents’/care takers’ low knowledge. The study therefore recommends intensive continuous education on proper nutrition of preschool children and its benefits to the communities in Bushenyi District.Trial registration: Not applicable.

The Gross Motor Development Test (TGMD-2) is a discriminant and norm-referenced test used to assess the competence level of children aged 3 to 10 years. The aim of the present study was to systematically review the results of Brazilian studies that examined the motor development of preschool children using the TGMD-2 test, considering the different regions of Brazil, as well as to analyze the results related to the factors associated with the performance in the test TGMD-2; we reviewed the LILACS and SCIELO databases using the term "TGMD-2" as the descriptor, searching for original published studies from 2007 to 2018, with full text available, in the Portuguese and English languages, which evaluated motor performance in preschool children using TGMD-2; data extraction included items: first author, local, periodical, objectives, design, sample characteristics, test performance results and related factors; quality of the studies was also evaluated. The ten studies included in the review indicated differences in motor performance in different regions. Signs of better motor performance were found in children of private school and who practice physical activity guided by a physical education professional.
