Abstract

The intervention study to evaluate the effects of nutritional product supplementation Leankid 100+BA on nutritional status and health of 12-24 months old children was completed in Ninh Binh in February 2024 with a control group (60 children) and an intervention group (60 children). Results: After two months of the intervention, the evaluation indexes of the intervention group comparing with the control group were: respiratory infection was lower 50% (3.3% vs. 53.3%); diarrhoea was lower 38.3% (1.7% vs. 40.0%); constipation was lower 16.7% (0% vs. 16.7%); anorexia was lower 40% (10.0% vs. 50.0%); difficulty sleeping was lower 38.4% (8.3% vs. 46.7%); average weight was higher 0.55 kg (p<0.05); average height was higher 0.56cm; risk of underweight malnutrition was lower 45.0%; risk of stunting was lower 18.4%; risk of wasting was lower 16.6%; underweight malnutrition was lower 33.3%; stunting was lower 16.6%, respectively; these differences were statistically significant (p<0.05). The rate of drinking enough milk was 93.3% with 2 meals/day. Conclusion: Supplementing of Leankid 100+BA product improved weight, height, digestion, anorexia, difficulty sleeping, and immunity​ system and reduced respiratory infection and risk of malnutrition. The product acceptability was high.
