METHODS: A cross sectional survey was carried out among 1047327 children aged 1 approximately 6 years old in six provinces of China during May 1997 approximately December 1998. RESULTS: The crude prevalence of CP for children aged 1 approximately 6 years old was 1.92 per thousand; in addition, prevalences of CP were also reported for factors such as sex, age, ethic group, birth weight, gestational age, and area. CONCLUSION: Prevalence of CP in China is at the low range among the world, which may be due to low prevalence and low survival rate of premature newborn in China. The prevalence of cp is associated with areas, sex, age, ethnic group, birth weight, and gestational age.
