Abstract

The nutritional condition of women reflects their own health as well as their future
children. Maternal nutrition plays an important role in the nutrition and development of
children. Objective: To evaluate the dietary intake of women of childbearing age in the
Northern Midlands and Mountains in 2019. Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study
of dietary nutritional value of 488 research subjects of childbearing age from 15 to 49
years old, in Cao Bang and Son La in the Northern Midlands and Mountains. Results:
The ratio of energy-generating substance P: L: G is 14.4 : 19.1 : 66.1, which reaches the
balance of energy generating substances as recommended. Regarding micro-minerals:
The diet meets the experimental study on zinc, while Ca only reaches 57.9% (405.2
mg) and iron with only 40.1% (11.8 mg). Regarding vitamins: The diet only reaches the
experimental level for vitamin C (114.1mg, reaching 152.1% of the experimental study)
and RAE (713 µg, reaching 101.9% of the experimental study). The rest of other vitamins
are lacking with only 30 to 80%. The most lacking is vitamin D which is 12.6% and PP
with 28.2% of the experimental research. Conclusion: Dietary nutrition of PNTSD in the
Northern midland and mountainous areas is lacking in micro-minerals and vitamins.
