TÓM TẮT  
Mục tiêu của bài báo là đánh giá một số chỉ tiêu nhân trắc, từ đó thấy được tình trạng dinh dưỡng của học  
sinh từ 6 - 10 tuổi thuộc khu vực miền núi. Nghiên cứu được tiến hành trên 2.040 học sinh (gồm 1.024 nam và  
1.016 nữ) thuộc một số huyện miền núi tỉnh Bình Định theo phương pháp mô tả cắt ngang có so sánh. Kết quả  
nghiên cứu cho thấy, các chỉ tiêu nhân trắc cơ bản: chiều cao, cân nặng, vòng ngực, vòng đầu của học sinh khu vực  
miền núi tỉnh Bình Định tăng dần theo tuổi và hầu hết các chỉ số đều thấp hơn so với học sinh cùng độ tuổi ở các  
khu vực khác trong nước và trên thế giới. Học sinh miền núi tỉnh Bình Định có tỷ lệ suy dinh dưỡng là 21,67%,  
tỷ lệ này là khá cao so với cả nước và trong khu vực, vì vậy cần có những kế hoạch đầu tư hơn nữa về mọi mặt  
cho các khu vực miền núi, nhằm giúp sự tăng trưởng của học sinh tốt hơn, góp phần nâng cao tầm vóc người Việt  
Nam trên cả nước.  
Từ khóa: Học sinh tiểu học, học sinh miền núi, học sinh Bình Định, chỉ số nhân trắc, dinh dưỡng học sinh.

ABSTRACT  
The objective of the paper is to assess some anthropometric indicators, showing the nutritional status of pupils  
from 6 to 10 years old in mountainous areas. The research was conducted on 2,040 pupils (including 1,024 males and  
1,016 females) in some mountainous districts of Binh Dinh province using the method of cross-sectional comparison.  
The research results show that the basic anthropometric indicators: height, weight, chest, head circumference of  
pupils in mountainous areas in Binh Dinh province increase gradually with age and most of the indicators are lower  
than those of pupils of the same age in other parts of the country and around the world. Mountainous pupils in Binh  
Dinh province have a malnutrition rate of 21.67%, which is quite high compared to that of the whole country and in  
the region, so it is necessary to have more investment plans in all aspects for the mountainous areas to help pupils  
have the better growth, contributing to raising the stature of Vietnamese people nationwide.  
Keywords: Primary pupils, mountainous pupils, Binh Dinh pupils, anthropometric indicators, pupilsnutrition.  
1. INTRODUCTION  
Anthropometry is one of the biological  
April 28, 2011,7 we conducted a research on basic  
anthropometric indicators: height, weight, chest,  
head circumference of primary pupils, from  
that assessing the nutritional status of children  
through the topic “Some anthropometric  
indicators and the nutritional status of pupils  
from 6 to 10 years old in the mountainous  
area of Binh Dinh province ” to assess some  
anthropometric indicators, from that showing  
the nutritional status of pupils from 6 to 10 years  
old in mountainous areas of Binh Dinh province.  
indicators showing growth and development  
in humans. For children, the anthropometric  
indicators also show the growth rate and  
nutritional status of children, contributing  
to the orientation for the development and  
stature of the Vietnamese people. However, the  
current situation of the growth, development  
and nutritional status of primary children in  
mountainous areas is still limited, which has  
affected quite a lot on the stature of Vietnamese  
people and the human strategy in general. In  
order to contribute to the implementation of the

stature of Vietnamese people in the period of  
2011 - 2030” of the Prime Minister, issued on

chronic disease and were not morphologically  
malformed, showed no abnormal physiological  
signs, were not absent in surveys and were of  
appropriate age.  
in the formula we have: n1 = 384.  
+ Step 2: There are 5 grades so the sample  
size for the study is n2 = n1 x 5 = 1,920.  
+ Step 3: Expected to give up 5%, so the  
sample size to be collected is n = 1,920 + (1,920 x  
5) / 100 = 2,016 pupils. The investigated sample  
size that is satisfactory is 2,040 (> 2,016), so the  
reliability is guaranteed.  
- Research duration: from October 2017  
to May 2018.  
2.2. Sampling method and sample size  
- The sample size was selected randomly  
by the method of cross-sectional study design  
and large samples were selected based on basic  
investigations in biomedicine. Samples were  
selected with the following steps:2,4  
- Sampling method: Binh Dinh province  
has 5 mountainous and midland districts  
(collectively referred to as mountainous areas):  
An Lao, Hoai An, Tay Son, Van Canh and Vinh  
Thanh. Two districts randomly selected were  
Van Canh and An Lao; 8 out of 20 primary  
schools selected were Canh Vinh 1 Primary  
School, Canh Vinh 2 Primary School, Canh Hiep  
Primary School, Van Canh 1 Primary School, An  
Lao Primary School, An Dung Primary School,  
An Tan Primary School and An Vinh Primary  
School. Pupils who meet the research criteria  
of these schools were included in the study. The  
sample is distributed as table 1.  
+ Step 1: Calculate sample size by the  
formula:  
In which: n1 is the smallest research sample  
size to be achieved for each grade; p is the normal  
pupil rate, choose p = 0.5; d is the absolute error,  
choose d = 0.05; is the reliability coefficient  
corresponding to 95% reliability = 1.96; replacing

Height: Using a wooden ruler to measure  
the height of UNICEF with an accuracy of  
0.1 cm. When measuring, pupils stand on a flat  
ground, their heels close together, their eyes look  
straight, making sure that 4 points: occipital,  
back, buttocks and heels touch the ruler. The  
upright posture is determined when the canthus  
and the upper edge of the ear rim are in the  
same horizontal line. The child stands upright,  
the shoulders and arms are free on either side of  
the person, knees do not sag, move the bar of  
the scale silently until it touches the top of the  
head of the child. When reading, the eye of the

with an accuracy of 0.1kg. The scale should  
be placed on the horizontal plane. Before each  
weighing, check the accuracy of the scale. The  
child is upright on the scale so that the body  
focus falls on the center of the scale. When  
weighing, the child wears thin clothes, no hats,  
shoes, sandals, away from meals and stands still  
in the middle of the scales.1,2,3,10

circle the measuring tape perpendicularly to  
the spine, passing through the shoulder blade  
(at the back) and the breastbone (in front of the  
chest) so that the plane of the tape is parallel to  
the ground. The measurement is determined by  
the average of the chest measurements when the  
child inhales and exhales as hard as he can. The  
person measured is in an upright position, not

Average increase / year  
Table 2 shows that the height of pupils  
increases from 6 to 10 years old. 6-year-old  
children have an average height of 114.24 ± 6.07  
cm and 10-year-old children are 134.47 ± 6.13  
cm. Females have a lower annual growth rate  
than men (females increase 4.93 cm/year, male  
increase 5.18 cm/year), girls are higher than  
boys (p> 0.05) at the age of 6 to 8 but at 9 and 10  
years of age, boys are taller than girls (p> 0.05).  
This may be because girls have puberty earlier  
than boys so the age of prepuberty also comes  
earlier. Comparing with a number of domestic  
and foreign research results, we notice that the  
group of pupils in our study has lower height than

Average increase / year  
Table 3 shows that the weight of the child  
increases over the years. At the age of 6, the  
mountainous pupil in Binh Dinh province had  
an average weight of 19.13 ± 4.00 kg but by  
the age of 10 was 28.24 ± 6.02 kg. The average  
annual increase is 2.28 kg, of which the male  
has an average growth rate higher than that of  
female (male increases 2.62 kg/year and female  
is 1.92 kg/year). The weight of male and female  
children at different ages is not much different  
(p > 0.05).  
was 2.7 kg/year; 2009 was 2.37 kg/year; 2013  
was 2.22 kg/year; 2015 was 2.99 kg/year and  
in our study was 2.28 kg/year. Comparing the  
weight of primary pupils in Binh Dinh province  
in 20098 with current mountainous pupils shows  
that after nearly 9 years their weight did not  
increase (p < 0.05). Thus, in the same study area,  
the weight of the mountainous group of pupils  
is lower than the average weight of pupils of the  
same age in the province, this is explained by  
the limitations of socio-economic conditions of  
mountainous districts. The weight of pupils of  
the same age in our study is also lower than that  
of foreign organizations such as NCHS, WHO  
and CDC (with p < 0.05).10  
Pupils in mountainous areas in Binh Dinh  
province have an increasing weight of 6-10 years  
old, consistent with previous studies....1,2,3,6,10 The  
highest increase is for females at the age of 7 and  
for males at the age of 9. At all ages, pupils in  
mountainous Binh Dinh province have a higher  
weight than that in the research results in 2002  
and 2003 (p < 0.05) and lower than that in the  
results of recent years (2009, 2013, 2015) with  
p < 0.05. The average increase of pupils in 2002  
was 2.63 kg/year; 2003 was 1.67 kg/year; 2007  
The third important anthropometric  
indicator of physical strength of each person is  
chest size. The average chest size of 2,040 pupils  
in the mountainous area of Binh Dinh province  
is shown in Table 4.

Average increase / year  
The chest size indicator of mountainous  
pupils in Binh Dinh province at the age of 6 is  
59.19 ± 5.11 cm, at 7 years old - 59.79 ± 5.06 cm;  
at 8 years old - 61.05 ± 6.01 cm; at 9 years old -  
63.16 ± 6.08 cm and at 10 years of age is 64.55 ±  
6.38 cm. The difference in chest size in male and  
female is not statistically significant (p> 0.05).  
Males have the fastest chest size growth at 9  
years old and females at 10 years old.  
average growth rate of 0.46 cm/year. In general,  
the average circumference of pupils from 6 to  
10 years old in Binh Dinh province is 51-54 cm,  
which is higher than that of pupils at the same  
age of Vietnamese standard in GTSH (p < 0.05).1  
According to the research in 2012 by  
Dinh Ngoc De, the average size of the head  
circumference of children from 6 to 12 years old  
is 50 - 52 cm. Other researches suggest that the  
average head circumference for 6 to 10 years old  
pupils is 50 - 54 cm. The results of the head size  
survey by WHO are as follows: at 6 years of age  
is 48 - 52.5 cm, at 7 years olds: 48.2 - 54 cm, at  
8 years old: 48.6 - 54.2 cm, at 9 years old: 48.8 -  
54.6 cm and at 10 years of age is 48.9 - 54.8 cm.  
Turkish primary pupils in 2015 have a head size  
of 48 - 56.5 cm...5,9,10 Head circumference, body  
size and memory have a positive correlation, so it  
is important to pay attention to diet and safety to  
help the child’s brain develop well. On the other  
hand, it is necessary to enhance memory training  
for children through intellectual activities such as  
learning, games ... Thus, the head circumference  
of pupils from 6 to 10 years old in mountainous  
areas in Binh Dinh province is within normal  
limits. Based on height and weight criteria, we  
determine BMI, from that assessing nutritional  
status of pupils.  
The increase in chest size of male pupils is  
higher than that of female pupils (male increases  
an average of 1.51 cm/year; female is 1.17 cm/year).  
Comparing the growth of chest size of  
primary pupils in mountainous areas of Binh  
Dinh province with other studies shows that  
pupils in our study have lower average chest size  
than that in the research results in pupils of the  
same age in the province and city of Thu Dau  
Mot in 2015 (p < 0.05).3  
3.4. Head circumference of mountainous  
primary pupils by age and gender  
Table 5 shows that the head circumference  
of pupils increases gradually with age with  
not much increase. 6-year-old children have a  
circumference of 51.16 ± 1.45 cm for boys and  
51.11 ± 1.68 cm for girls; up to 10 years of age,  
the male has a head circumference of 53.38 ±  
1.70 cm and the female is 52.55 ± 1.45 cm; the

Primary pupils in Binh Dinh province  
in 2009 had an average malnutrition rate of  
22.23% but by 2016 it was only 11.18%;8 This  
shows that the malnutrition rate among pupils of  
this age has decreased significantly. However,  
mountainous pupils in our study account for  
a malnutrition rate of 21.67% (p > 0.05). This  
shows that the malnutrition rate of pupils in the  
province has decreased but it has only decreased  
in urban and rural areas; mountainous areas have  
hardly decreased.  
and 18.1%. The highest rate of malnutrition is  
in mountainous areas, then to rural areas and  
the lowest is urban areas. Meanwhile, the ratio  
of overweight - obesity is highest in urban areas  
and lowest in mountainous areas.6  
The situation of malnutrition, overweight  
and obesity of children varies by ecological  
region and time of study. In 2011, the survey  
result of stunting children in 6 provinces  
(Hanoi, Ha Nam, Quang Binh, Hue, Ho Chi  
Minh City and Ben Tre) in Vietnam was 13.7%  
at the age of 6 - 9 and 18.2% at the ages of  
9 - 11. In 2012, among primary pupils in district  
5 Ho Chi Minh City 2.3% were malnourished,  
and 21.2% were overweighed. In 2014, research  
results at some primary schools in Nghia Dan,  
From 2010 to 2012, a study of 3,600  
children aged between 0.5 and 11 in urban  
and rural areas showed that the proportion of  
malnourished children in 2000, 2010 and 2011  
gradually decreased, respectively 30.8%; 21.5%

17.8%.6 In 2015, the number of malnourished  
primary pupils in Hai Phong was 2.15%, in Thu  
Dau Mot was 5.7% in boys and 8.91% in girls....3

areas of Binh Dinh province nowadays have  
a quite high rate of malnutrition (21.67%)  
compared to the whole province, other provinces  
in the country and in the region.10  
- Malnutrition status accounts for 21.67%.  
This is a relatively high rate compared to the  
current rate of the whole province and the whole  
country.
