"Golden key" for stunted malnourished children, helping them catch up with growth

Stunted children have lower height as adults than normal children.

Children with stunted growth have lower height, higher risk of death, are more susceptible to diseases and are less productive than normal children. According to the nutrition-lifecycle model proposed by the United Nations Nutrition Subcommittee at the Nutrition Conference on Challenges for the 21st Century, "stunted children who later become adults also have lower height."

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), in Vietnam, about 25% of children under 5 years old are stunted due to not meeting the recommended nutritional regimen. Children at high risk of stunting include: premature babies, children with fetal malnutrition (full-term babies with birth weight <2,500g), children with congenital malformations, children with prolonged digestive disorders, children with respiratory and digestive tract infections, children with rickets, and children who are improperly nourished. The consequence is that stunting will directly affect the physical and intellectual development of children, as well as affect their children's future

“RIGHT” nutrition helps children quickly escape from malnutrition and stunting

According to Dr. Nguyen Anh Tuan - lecturer at Ho Chi Minh City University of Medicine and Pharmacy, nutritional intervention for malnourished and stunted children must ensure the following principles:

Provide foods rich in energy and full of nutrients such as protein, starch, fat, vitamins and minerals. Most malnourished children often lack essential micronutrients. Foods are easily absorbed because the child's digestive system is weak or has poor absorption.

Supplement nutrients to help strengthen the immune system and fight infections because children's resistance is weak.

Nutrition helps support brain development, helping children develop comprehensively.
