Abstract

A cross-sectional study was conducted on 551 students aged 11-14 in Dien Bien, Northern mountainous province, to determine some factors related to zinc status. The results showed a linear correlation between height, Z-score BMT/T, hemoglobin and serum retinol concentration with serum zinc concentration. Some factors associated with zinc deficiency were low and depleted iron stores, clinical vitamin A deficiency (VAD-TLS) and risk of VAD-TLS status, anemia and having school lunch. Therefore, it is necessary to intervene to supplement multi-micronutrients (vitamin A, zinc, iron) and prevent anemia; improve the quality of meals, and increase the use of zinc, vitamin A and iron supplements to improve zinc deficiency.
