This study is a pilot study of Taiwan Birth Cohort Study (TCBS) exploring the relationship between parental variables and child health; this is a report on children at 18 months of age. Mothers or primary caregivers of 1783 babies had previously completed questionnaires for this study when their babies were six moths of age. The questionnaire for this portion of the study was administered to the mothers or primary caregivers of the same children when the children were 18 months of age, from May to July 2005. A total of 1,620 questionnaires (90.9%) were completed. Factors associated with body weight ＜15th percentile at 18 months of age were gender, prematurity, and low birth weight. The single factor associated with hospitalization was maternal smoking. Emergency room visits were associated with gender, whether the mother was pregnant again, maternal smoking, and whether there are any other children younger than 6 years old in the family.
