Objective To develop the symptom integral questionnaire for infantile anorexia

and analyze its reliability and validity. Methods By searching relevant literature

discussing with the core group

questionnaire item pool was formed

and the initial scale was built. Totally 150 cases of children with infantile anorexia were survived

and reliability and validity of questionnaire was evaluated by correlation coefficient

Crowns Bach coefficient method

and factor analysis method. Results The questionnaire of symptoms of anorexia in children was composed of 28 items

testretes coefficient of which were more than 0. 7（ P < 0. 01）. The Cronbach’s α of the table was 0. 978. After the items were deleted from each item

the comparison showed that all items could not reduce the internal consistency of the general table. The content validity analysis showed that the correlation coefficients of 28 items and scales were larger than 0. 6

which had a strong correlation. Exploratory factor analysis results showed that the eigenvalues of first four principal components were all ≥ 1

with cumulative contribution rate of 80. 09%

so the first four common factors were selected. Conclusion The symptom integral questionnaire for infantile anorexia has good reliability and validity

and can well reflect the symptoms of anorexia in children.
