Journal of Practical Medicine 2005;512(5):38-40
Study on some anthropometrical indicators of nutrition status of 446 old employees (373 males, 73 females, mean ages 79.55.7), who were examined at the Huu Nghi Hospital from September 2004 to January 2005. The results: mean weight of man and woman were 54.69.5kg and 47.28.6kg, respectively. Mean height of man and woman were 157.85.9 and 145.86.8, respectively. The waist/hip ratio (WHR) >0.90 in males accounted for 47.8%, WHR >0.85 in females was 64.38%. According to IDI & WPRO, the rate of overweight was 18.16% , obesity grade 1 was 14.5%, and obesity grade 2 was 1.35%.

3.Nutritional status of the hypertensives in rural region as compared with that of the hypertensive cadres cared for health at Huu Nghi Hospital
Journal of Vietnamese Medicine 1999;232(1):28-32
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.

4.Health status and diseases of elderly employees at Huu Nghi Hospital in 2004-2005
Journal of Preventive Medicine 2005;15(4):27-30
A total of 446 elderly employees admitted to Dai Lai Sanatorium were medically examined at Huu Nghi Hospital in 2004-2005. The results showed that the rates of health status classification were 3.79% at degree B1, 40.31% at degree B2, 55.01 % at degree C, and 0.89% at degree D. Four highest diseases were at cardiovascular (54.04%), genitourinary (43.50%), digestive (36.32%) and musculoskeletal system (22.20%). The rates of endocrinological metabolic disorders and musculos-keletal diseases among obesity people with BMI > 25 were higher than that of the others with p<0.05 and p< 0.02, respectively.

5.Cardiovascular and diabetic diseases at Huu Nghi Hospital in the past 10 years and related nutritional factors
Journal of Practical Medicine 2003;450(4):39-43
Officers and cadres of various governmental bodies were subjected to this study conducted in Huu Nghi Hospital in the past 10 years (1991-2001). The incidence of cardiovascular and diabetic deseases increased following the anthropometric and nutritional increasing parameters. The mortality of cardiovascular diseases reduced considerably, the mortality of diabetes also reduce with no statistical significant. The incidence of diabetes and hypertension has a positive correlation with blood cholesterol and triglycerid high levels and with BMI and obesity

Journal of Malaria and parasite diseases Control 2004;0(3):11-15
Malaria situation in Lao Cai was stable during 4 first months of 2008. Number of malaria patients has decreased by 39.88% so that the rate of malaria patients/population was reduced by 39.28% compared to the same period of the last year. No malaria parasites were found. The malaria prevalence was reduced in all districts compared to that of the same period of the last year. All the former malaria foci were stable with no new malaria patients found. The survey, however, revealed some weak points in the malaria surveillance network. Blood slides were not taken or taken in inconsiderable number in many communes; blood films were too small of slides were labeled over the blood film. Ten of fifty microscope points (20%) over the province had stopped working due to many reasons: movement of the staff, on training, birth leaves and so on. Forty microscope points were checked and ranked. Only 15 microscope points were ranked "good" (37.5%) as found to regularly work. These points were located mainly at hospitals, inter-communal clinics. Twelve others (12%) were ranked" fair" and 3 points (7.5%) were "weak". Many commune health centers did not regularly report monthly malaria data, or reported insufficient and wrong information causing incorrect data of the upper levels.
