Abstract

Malnutrition in combination with micronutrient deficiencies is very common, especially
zinc deficiency. A cross-sectional study was conducted among 501 children aged 36-59
months, who were stunted and at risk of stunting to determine zinc deficiency status and some
related factors. The result showed that the prevalence of zinc deficiency was 75.6%, at the
high level of public health significance. The mean serum zinc concentration was 8.7 ±1.9
μmol/L. The prevalence of zinc deficiency was similar in children aged 36-47 months (75.9%)
and 48-59 months (75.5%). Stunting and underweight increased the risk of zinc deficiency
2.1 times more compared to normal children (p <0.01). Serum zinc concentration in stunted
and underweight children was statistically significantly different from the normal children (p
<0.05). Linear multivariable regression showed that stunting was associated with serum zinc
concentration (p <0.01). Therefore, zinc deficiency is a serious public health problem in Thanh
Liem. In order to improve stunting status, there should be measures to address zinc deficiency
