Abstract

Objective: The study aimed to describe malnutrition status in children aged 36-59
months old and some related factors in two communes, Tien Du district, Bac Ninh province
and some factors related to stunting. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on
634 mothers who had children aged 36-59 months old at two communes: Phu Lam and
Lac Ve of Tien Du district, Bac Ninh province. Results: The proportion of malnourished
children from 36-59 months of age in the two communes were 15.1% for stunting, 12.6%
for underweight, and 7.7% for wasting. The rate of stunting in children with birth weight
less than 2500g, children who had weaned before 18 months and who had anorexia was
2.0; 1.9 and 1.7 times higher than children with birth weight above 2500g, weaning after
18 months, and not anorexic. Conclusions: The proportion of malnourished children from
