The aims of this study was to assess nutritional status, situation of intestinal helminthic infection and their relationships. A cross-sectional study was conducted on 827 pupils at Dong My of Thanh Tri district and Thuong Cat primary school of Tu Liem district, Hanoi suburban. Nutritional status was assessed by using anthropometry indicators and classification with NCHS reference population. Worm infection was examined by using Kato-Kart method. 1. The prevalence of malnutrition according to weigh for age, height for age and weight for height indicators were 26.8%; 28.3% and 6% at Dong My and 41.4%, 34% and 14.5% at Thuong Cat primary school, repectively. 2. The positive rates of worm infection were 80.2%, Ascaris 65.8%, Trchuris 63.8%, multi-worm infection 49.0% at Dong My and 88.4%, Ascaris 61.7%. There was a significant relationship between the situation of worm infection and nutritional status of pupils.

For the past years, the health sector had many efforts to deploy the nutritional program, generally, and the program of micronutrient deficiency prevention and control. Ups to now, the clinical types of eye dry due to the vitamin A deficiency leading to the blind were mainly eliminated. The nutritional anemia in women and pregnant women was also reduced. The knowledge of health staffs and people in the micronutrient deficiency was significantly enhanced.

Two groups of children aged 5 to 8 months having the same socioeconomic condition, their mothers have been attended in the courses of nutrition communication and education, one group (control group) was fed with home-made powder, the other group (intervention group) was fed with a meal of high micronutrient and energy dense powder per day, for 6 months. The results showed that after intervention, concentration of Hb, ferritin, serum zinc and retinol of intervention children were significantly higher than those of the control group. Prevalence of anemia, exhausted iron storage, zinc and vitamin A deficiencies of intervention group significantly lower those of control group. Body length and height for age z-score (HAZ) of the intervention group were significantly higher than length and HAZ of the control group. 6 months follow-up after intervention cessation revealed that the HAZ and Hb of the intervention group were significantly higher than those of the control group, respectively. High micronutrient and energy dense powder may improve micronutrient deficiency and nutritional status of intervention children

Multi-micronutrients were supplemented for 301 children aged 6-12 months in 4 communes in SocSon district, Hanoi city from July to December 2000. In the daily supplementing group, the incidence of anemia reduced drammatically from 93.4% to 23.1% after 6 months in comparing with control group, with the group of multi micronutrient supplementing every week and the group of iron supplementing everyday. Hb content of the group of multi micronutrient supplementing enhanced from 99.6/-1.3g/l to 115.5/-1.5g/l. The daily supplement of multioligonutrients and iron had improved the iron store in the body. The effects of improving nutritional status and the deficiency of other micro-elements such as vitamin A and Zinc was still not expressed. The ratio of retinol level and serum Zinc level was lower in the group of children of supplementing multimicronutrients daily and weekly without statistic signification in comparing with the control group and the group of iron supplement

Children aged 6-9 years old in Dong Cuu commune, Gia Binh district, Bac Ninh province were randomly enrolled and divided into 2 groups. Group 1 was given daily fortified multimicronutrient biscuits and group 2 normal biscuits without multimicronutrient. From September 2001 to May 2002 (6 months) subjects received biscuits every 5 days each week. In group 1: anemia incidence was improved by 58%, and in group 2: 47%. Hb mean level in group 1 was 6.8g/l, group 2 was 2.8g/l. Vitamin A deficit was improved by 46% in group 1 and 31% in group 2. Serum level mean gap in vitamin A deficit group was higher than the group without vitamin A deficit in the beginning of study. The improving of physical health in group 1 was not clearly observed in comparing with that of group 2
