Abstract

A cross-sectional study was conducted about a dietary survey on 448 children who study at Hai Luu kindergarten in 2021 with the aim of describing the nutritional status and semi-boarding diets of children at kindergarten in Hai Luu commune, Song Lo district, Vinh Phuc province in 2021. The method of assessing nutritional status is based on the WHO growth standards in 2007 and the assessment of children's diets according to the nutritional needs recommended for Vietnamese people by the Institute of Nutrition in 2016. Research results show that the overall rate of malnutrition in children is 4,0%, of which underweight is 2,0%, stunting is 3,3%, emaciation is 0,0% and there were no cases of overweight or obese children. The average energy in a child's diet at school is 555,7 kcal. The percentage of energy provided by Protein, Lipid, and Glucid all meet the recommended needs. Thus, the rate of malnutrition among preschool children is low compared to the national average, and the children's semi-boarding diets at school have provided a relatively sufficient amount of energy according to the children's needs.
