Abstract

Iron deficiency anemia is a public health problem. A cross-sectional study was conducted on 571 children 11-14 years old in Dien Bien province to describe some factors related to serum iron stores. Linear multivariable regression showed that the hemoglobin concentration and serum 25-Hydroxy vitamin D, the Zscore height for age, and the Zscore BMI for age were related to serum ferritin concentration. Multivariable logistic regression showed that household size, H'mong ethnic group, low and vitamin D deficiency status, and pubertal status  were associated with low and depleted iron storage. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the quality of meals at both schools and households, increase physical activity outdoors, and pay attention to specific interventions to ethnicity and physiological status to improve iron stores for children.
