The survey was conducted on members of 7600 households who were participated to the national nutrition survey in year 2000. It was found that 32.8% of 6 to 14-year children are underweight and 2.2% have sign of overweight. Rate of underweight children has trend to decrease and that of overweight children is increasing dramatically. Chronic energy insufficiency in childbearing women is decreasing significantly through nationwide. This rate is lowest in age group of 15 - 19 years, then decrease over ages in urban areas but stabilises in rural areas. The prevalence of overweight is increasing both in children and adult, especially in urban areas and higher in women than in men.
Nutritional Status ; Aged

To investigate the real diet and nutritional status of children and women in the reproductive ages as household economic level in Cua dong precinct and communes in Ha Tay, Yen bai, Thanh hoa, Khanh hoa and Tien giang provinces. The results showed that the consumption of animal food was increasingly as increase of economic level. The diet’s average energy of the poor, normal and quite economy level were1705 Kcal, 1969 Kcal and 2254 Kcal, respectively. The malnutrional rate in the households with the quite economic level was mainly high. The overweight rate was increasingly.
Nutritional Status ; Child ; Women

The investigation was conducted in one rural commune. Information was gathered about socio-economic status (SES) and food consumption of 544 households with 3 categories of SES. The results showed that the energy intake of household increased with higher socio-economic conditions. Rice, fat/oil, nut and sesame were most consumed in the households of the medium socio-economic status. The consumption of meat, fish, eggs and fruits tend to increase with better higher SEC. Vegetables consumption was low at all studied households.

The assessment of nutritional status of 6593 children under 5 years old in 6 communes/precincts showed that after 10 years, the nutritional status has been improved significantly in 3 indicators: rate of underweight children decreased to 34.0% from 53.2%; rate of stunt children decreased to 35.2% from 54.6%; wasting reduced from 10.7% to 7.9%. But overweight children increased from 1.2% to 4.0%.
Changes in nutritional status of children under 5 in some surveyed sites after 10 years (1985-1987 & 1995-1997).

The investigation was conducted in one rural commune. Information was gathered about socio-economic status (SES) and food consumption from 544 households with 3 categories of SES. The results showed that the energy intake of household increased with increase of socio-economic conditions. Rice, fat/oil, nut and sesame were most consumed in households of the average socio-economic status. The consumption of meat, fish, eggs and fruits tend to increase with better higher SES. Vegetable consumption was low at all studied households

A study on 222 households at 6 precincts and communes has shown that after 10 years, the real diet of household improved significantly number of rice, vegetable, tuber was reduced. While animal food, meat was increased 3 times, fish portion increased 2 times and eggs and milk increased 10 times, fruit increased 6 times and oil and fat level increased 2 times. The diet was more various and rich.

Backgroud: The aim of this study is to update on antibiotic resistance of common pathogenical bacteria isolated in Hue University of Medicine and Pharmacy Hospital (Hue UMP Hospital). Methodology: Use of the agar disk diffusion method to test the susceptibility to antimicrobial agents of 3709 bacterial strains from infected patients hospitalized in Hue UMP Hospital in 2020 - 2022. Results: Among 3709 strains of pathogenical bacteria isolated, S.aureus was found with the rate of 29.9%, followed by E. coli (24.5%), Pseudomonas aeruginasa (17.8%), Enterococcus spp. (11.8%), Klebsiella spp (9.7%) and Acinetobacter spp (4.1%). The proportion of bacterial isolates has changed, but Staphylococcus aureus is still highest rate. S.aureus is resistant to many antibiotics, but MRSA strains have decreased significantly, from 73.3% in 2020 to 62.5% in 2022. Pseudomonas aeruginosa was resistant to some of the group A recommended antibiotics such as ceftazidime, piperacillin-tazobactam with the rate of 56.6% and 48.7%. The percentage of E. coli with ESBL strains (+) was at 28.2% - 30.3%. Enterococus spp strains are still sensitive to vancomycin (83.1% - 91.9%). The rate of Klebsiella ESBL (+) is only 6.9% to 8.2%. The strains of Acinetobacter spp were highly resistant to Piperacillin (100%) and Ceftriaxone (96.5%) but they are still sensitive to imipenems 70 - 71%, highly sensitive to Doxycillin (95.2%) and Cefotaxime (88.4%). Conclusion: Many bacterial strains are resistant to many commonly antibiotics. Providing timely, regular, and effective management of antibiotic resistance patterns for common pathogenic bacteria in hospitals, will help reduce the risk of bacterial resistance.
