Abstract

In Vietnam, studies on the nutritional and iron-deficiency anemia status of women are often surveyed by household, or focus on pregnant and lactating women, women in mountainous or remote areas. There are few studies on nutrition and iron deficiency anemia status in women of childbearing age and workers in industrial zones, where female workers worked on shifts and have a relatively similar working environment. This study aims to assess nutritional status and describe the iron deficiency anemia status of 18-35 years old female workers at Midori Apparel Vietnam in 2020. The study is cross-sectional research, conducted by interviewing, measuring, and taking blood samples of 401 female workers aged 18-35 at Midori Apparel Vietnam Company. The study showed that the average age of female workers is 27.89 ± 4.12. The percentage of chronic energy deficiency (CED) is 23% while the percentage of overweight is 8,7%. The rate of female workers with anemia is 11.2%; iron deficiency is 5,5% and the proportion of female workers with low serum ferritin is 11%. Education level and lifestyle are related to these percentages, so there is a need for appropriate communication programs, nutrition education, and nutrition interventions for women of childbearing age.
