目的研究广州地区儿童中医体质分布规律，从而为儿童体质调理提供理论依据。方法采用中医体质分类与判定标准，制定《小儿中医体质及健康状况自填式问卷》（家长或监护人填写），并结合舌脉以分析判定儿童中医体质类型。结果调查结果显示平和质占4．5％，阴虚质占50．3％，气虚质占35．2％，痰湿质占20．2％，实热质占67．8％，特禀质占6．1％。其中2种以上兼夹体质占调查对象的85．6％，而兼夹体质中气阴两虚质占24．1％，脾虚肝旺质占33．7％，气虚痰湿质占14．8％，脾虚湿热质占13％。而3岁及3岁以下小儿兼夹体质分布中气阴两虚占26．3％，脾虚肝旺质占24．8％，气虚痰湿质占10．9％，脾虚湿热质占8．9％；3岁以上小儿气阴两虚质占22．6％，脾虚肝旺质占39．7％，气虚痰湿质占17．4％，脾虚湿热质占4．5％。结论广州地区儿童单纯中医体质以实热质、阴虚质、气虚质为主，且无年龄差异；但以2种以上兼夹体质为主，且兼夹体质分布具有年龄差异，其中3岁及3岁以下小儿以气阴两虚质为主，3岁以上小儿以脾虚肝旺质为主。对于3岁以上儿童，除了体质调养之外，应注意心理健康引导。
