Abstract

The study was carried out to assess the nutritional status and body composition characteristics of women aged 15-35 years old in 5 poor communes of Muong La district, Son La province. The study results showed that the average weight was 48.5 ± 6.5 kg, 27.8% of women with low weight (under 45 kg). The average height was 151.8 ± 5.3cm and average BMI was 21.0 ± 2.4 kg/m2. The prevalence of CED in the age group of 20-35 was 8.9%, the prevalence of stunting and wasting in the 15-19 age group are 40% and 5.6%, respectively. The average weight, height and BMI among the 4 age groups were significantly different (p < 0.001). The percentage of body fat (%BF) and fat mass (FM) of the subjects increased gradually with increasing age group,%BF and FM were significantly different between the groups of 15-19 years old and 30-35 years old with remaining age groups (p<0.05). Muscle mass (PMM), fat-free mass (FFM) of the subjects also increased gradually with increasing age group. PMM and FFM of the subjects in the 15-19 age group were significantly different with the other 3 age groups (p<0.05). In this study, although the prevalence of CED of the subjects was not high, the proportion of women with low weight (under 45kg) was quite high, accounting for 27.8%. Therefore, intervention to improve the nutritional status of women in poor communes here is very necessary.
