According to Statistics Report from National Act Planning about Nutrition up to year 2020, average height of vietnamese people is 164cm in male and 153cm in female. This figure is considered remarkably lower than the same age average height of most Asian countries and more far away versus western countries.

It is noted that Vietnam new-born babies have almost a same height compared to others countries (over 50cm), however since reach of 3 years old of age a big gap of height started to grow making a significant distance to world children.

Within 26 years since 1993 up to present, average height of Vietnamese adults increase only 3cm resulting to ranking 4th as “dwarf people” over the world, above Indonesia, Philippines and Bolivia (statistics report from World Population Magazine 2019)

To explain for this, PhD. Doctor Nguyễn Trọng Hưng, Division of Nutrition No.2 – Faculty of National Nutrition stated : “There are certain factors that affect to the development of height among children leading to a limitation of physical strength and stature of Vietnam people; in which more than 50% resulting from inappropriate nutrition as well as physical fitness. Others may come from genetics, health background, mentality,….”. In reality, knowledge of nutrition supplements to children dietary are still lacking in many families in Vietnam, particularly during period of first 1000 days after born, pre-mature and mature – all these stages play a very decisive role to the development of height in children.

Lack of protein, minerals, calci, zinc, Fe,….. are causes to malnutrition to children, especially to their growth of height.  “A pre-clinical ratio among children below 5 years old who are lack of vitamin A at the moment is 13%, anemia is 27.8% and lack of zinc up to 69.4%”, Doctor Hưng added.

As a result, a low nutritious dietary is a main cause to limit the development of height among Vietnam people.

To improve height for children, mothers should have a sufficient nutrition dietary during pregnancy and milk feeding period, according to nutrition expert’s advice. After birth, it is advisable to feed breast milk in first 6 months, and provide essential protein, carbohydrates, fat, fiber, vitamin, …. when babies start to eat. At the time of breast milk cease, they also should continue to be fed with formula milk and other food from milk to deliver a supplementary calcium, vitamin and nutritious minerals.
