Abstract

Regular using micronutrient fortified foods in schools is one of intervention solutions
to improve nutrition status among children. A randomized controlled intervention study
was conducted in Yen Bai province in 2017 – 2018 on 303 preschool and primary
school children who were given 360ml multi-micronutrient fortified powder milk daily
for six months to evaluate the effectiveness on anemia, vitamin D, and zinc deficiency.
The results showed that the mean of hemoglobin, 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D]
serum, serum zinc concentration and difference concentration increased with statistical significance in the intervention group compared with the control group (p<0.05).
At the same time, the prevalence of vitamin D and zinc deficiency of the intervention
group after six months (61.2% and 60.7%) were statistically different compared with
the control group (88.8% and 83.9%, respectively) (p <0.001). Therefore, it is recommended to use multi-micronutrient fortified milk in school meals daily for preschool
and primary school children.
