Abstract

The nutritional status and health of adolescents is very important. A cross-sectional study was conducted on 4,069 children at 11 in ethnic minority semi-boarding schools in Dien Bien province in 2018 to determine some factors related to stunting in children 11-14 years old. The results showed that the poor and near-poor household economy status, children who had not yet reached puberty and the Hmong ethnic group were related factors that increase the risk of stunted. Therefore, it is necessary to have a comprehensive and long-term solution for nutritional interventions along with improving socio-economic status and family circumstances. Prioritize nutrition interventions for children of ethnic minorities, especially the Hmong. Contemporaneous, it is necessary to focus on ensuring adequate nutrition for school-age children in ethnic minority areas.
