Abstract:
The population under study was selected from Cua Dong, Thanh Luong precinct and Yen So commune (Ha Noi city) and Ben Thanh, Nha Be and Can Gio (Ho Chi Minh city); with the total of 594 subjects (200 from rural areas, 196 from suburbs and 198 persons from urban areas). The results: the total value of serum fatty acid varied from 2719 +/- 935 to 4174 +/- 1421 g/ml: out of which the lowest values were observed in rural population and the highest ones were among HaNoi inhabitants. It was also found that in both surveyed areas, the percentage of monounsaturated fatty acid was remarkably higher in rural areas. However, inversely the percentage of polyunsaturated fatty acid was higher among urban population.
