Abstract

A controlled intervention study evaluated the effect of formula supplementation on nutritional status and health of children aged 36-60 months. The study was completed in Thai Binh in May 2019 with 89 children in the intervention group supplementing with formula milk twice a day for 3 months, and 90 children in the control group with a regular diet. The study results showed that supplementing with formula had a positive effect in the intervention group compared with the control group: weight gain, height increase after 2 months of intervention with statistical significance (p<0.05). The average weight gain was 0.4kg more (1.5±0.4kg versus 1.1±0.6kg); the average height increase was 0.5cm more (2.6±0.8cm versus 2.1±0.8cm) with statistical significance (p<0.05); There was improved anorexia with statistical significance (p<0.05). There was a tendency to improve respiratory infections and sleep problems, but the differencies were not statistically significant (p>0.05).
