Abstract

Nutrition is the most important factor in the growth of the body. A cross-sectional study was conducted on 1117 high school students in Mai Son district, Son La province – using the interview method by pre-designed questionnaires to determine some factors related to stunting status. The results showed that, students whose mothers were ethnic minorities to increase risk of stunting 1.5 times students whose mothers were Kinh (p < 0.05); Students who were female and who had inactive/low physical activity had 1.7 times and 2.0 times higher risk of stunting, respectively than male students and having average or higher physical activity (p < 0.01). Therefore there should be positive solutions to improve nutritional status of students in mountainous provinces, focusing on ethnic minority children and girls; and physical activity in school need to increase.
