Abstract

Limited information and data on the body composition and nutritional status of women of childbearing age in the poor northern mountainous districts. A cross-sectional study was conducted on 414 women aged 15-35 years old in 5 poor communes of Thuan Chau district, Son La province in 2018 to describe anthropometric characteristics, body composition, nutritional status. Theo result showed that average weight, height and body mass index were (48.1kg, 152.9cm and 20.6kg/cm2), respectively. The prevalance of stunting of women aged 15-19 years was 20.4%; chronic energy deficiency in the 20-24 age group was the highest (26.6%) compared to the general prevalance of 16.2% of women 20-35 years old. Women with low weight less than 45kg took 34.8%. Weight, body mass index, percentage of body fat (%BF) and fat mass (FM) changed with increasing age class.  %BF and FM were the lowest in the 15-19 age group, respectively (23.7% and 10.9 kg) and the highest in the 30-35–year-old group (29.1% and 15.2 kg) respectively. The prevalence of stunting and CED is still high among women of childbearing age, especially in the age group of 15-24 years. Therefore, it is necessary to intervene to improve the nutritional status of  women of childbearing age in poor communes, with priority given to the age group under 25 years old.
