This paper introduced the design of a rational nutritional regimen for Vietnamese with the level of physical exercise that was the same as rapid walking a hour a day or other equal activity. This nutritional regimen comprised lipid (15-20%, balance ratio of oil and animal fat), glucid (65-75%), equal meat, fish and soybean, more than 300g of fresh vegetables and less than 10g salt daily.

The comparison of the anthropometric indicators on nutrition between hypertesives and normal people at Tien Phuong commune showed that abdominal, hip circumferences and the ratio of abdominal and hip circumference in hypertensives were significantly higher in female and male than those in the normal people (p<0.05-0.001). Weight and BMI (body mass index) were significantly higher in female and skinfold thickness was higher in male group, only (p<0.05-0.001); these indicators were also significantly lower than those of the hypertensives cared for health in Huu Nghi Hospital (p<0.01-0.001). Weight, BMI, abdominal circumference, and the ratio of abdominal and hip circumferences are the valid indicators for supervising nutritional status and preventing of hypertension in the elderly.

Enteral feeding therapy has existed since ancient Egypt, but most of the major advances in enteral nutrient techniques and formulas have taken place during the 20th century through the development of sources and ingredients This review provides a historical account of enteral nutrition (EN), including the sources and formulation of macro-and micro-nutrients in the formula and how to manufacture them. The formulas were improved by the development of raw materials that are easier to digest and the next formula is expected to develop functionality using more raw materials, such as ω-3, amino acid, and more functional ingredients to heal the disease.

BACKGROUND: Gejang (marinated crab) is a favorite traditional food and a main source of crab intake among Koreans. The present study aimed to identify the possibility of cadmium inflow to the body through gejang; accordingly, the relationship between gejang intake frequency and amount, and blood cadmium concentrations was investigated. METHODS: Using data from the first Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey in the sixth period in 2013, means and standard errors of blood cadmium concentrations in relation to gejang intake frequency and amount, as well as the monthly intake of gejang, were obtained from 1381 participants for whom data regarding blood cadmium concentration measurements was available. RESULTS: After adjustment for confounding factors, a gejang intake frequency of four or fewer times per week and a monthly intake of 200 cm3 or less had no significant effect on blood cadmium concentrations. However, participants with gejang intake of at least five times per week had a weighted mean cadmium concentration of 2.12 μg/L (p < 0.001), and participants who had a gejang monthly intake of more than 200 cm3 had a weighted mean cadmium concentration of 1.76 μg/L (p < 0.001). CONCLUSION: These results suggest that to minimize the effect of gejang consumption on blood cadmium level, gejang intake should be limited to four or less times per week and 200 cm3 or less per month. Weekly intake of at least five times and monthly intake of more than 200 cm3 may increase blood cadmium levels.

For 4 years, Thua Thien - Hue province has been implemented 3844/1 PAM project in 45 communes. The results showed that: malnutrition rate of children under 5 years was reduced. The underweight malnutrition decreased from 49.6% to 37.1%; wasting malnutrition decreased from 56.8% to 45.7%. Mother's knowledge on nutrition has been improved.

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.

The energy allowance for under 6 month children is 34565Kcal, achieves 55.6% of level recommended by National Institute of Nutrition. The energy allowance for 6 to 12 month children is 59441Kcal, achieves 72% of recommended level. The dietary supplement form is multiple. The mean lipid content in allowances of under 6-month children and in 6 to 12 month children achieve only 30% and 43% of recommended level, respectively. More than 92% of mothers give their babies the first meal with sugar solution. The duration of exclusive breastfeeding is short. Early breastfeeding discontinuation is common here (80%).
