Period of preschool is important for children’s growth and development, which has a far-reaching impact on children’s health in the near and long term. The aim of this study was to understand the physical development, anemia and caries status of children aged 3-6 years in Chongqing, so as to provide reference for children health care work. The physical examination data of 2573 preschool children in Chongqing were collected by convenience sampling for descriptive analysis and difference test. The rates of growth retardation, underweight, emaciation, overweight, obesity, caries and anemia were 12.24%, 1.71%, 7.38%, 5.05%, 38.09% and 13.37%. Boys had lower rates of underweight and anemia than girls(P=0.000).The rates of growth retardation, underweight, caries and anemia were lower in urban areas than that of in rural areas(P<0.05). The regional difference of body symmetry was statistically significant. Age differences in underweight and caries were statistically significant. Physical development of preschool children in Chongqing needs to be promoted, and the incidence of common diseases was high, and effective measures should be taken to intervene.
