Main Article Content
Abstract
A cross-sectional study wasconducted in 2018 on 290 junior high school students from 04 semi-boarding ethnic minority high schools in Tua Chua district, Dien Bien province, in order to describe the status of anemia, iron storage and vitamin D deficiency. The results showed that the overall anemia prevalence was 30.3% at the average threshold of public health significance; depleted iron stores were 22.4% (in which, low and depleted iron stores were 53.8%); iron deficiency anemia prevalence was 6.6%; The mean hemoglobin concentration was 122.9g/l±11.1 and the median ferritin concentration was 28.4µg/l. Low vitamin D ratio was 9.3%; the rate at risk of vitamin D deficiency was 86.6%. There was a statistically significant difference in the rate of low vitamin D by age group (p<0.05). It is necessary to have timely intervention solutions to improve anemia, iron storage and vitamin D deficiency for junior high school students in ethnic and difficulty areas of Dien Bien province in particular and the Northern mountainous region in general.
