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, pupils’nutrition.

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

+ 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.

3. RESEARCH RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
3.1. Height of mountainous primary pupils by
age and gender
Height is one of the basic morphological
indicators, used frequently in human
anthropological surveys. The result of the study

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

these studies were conducted many years ago
(p <0.05).
Besides height, weight is also a basic
anthropometric indicator that clearly shows the
growth of children. The results of the weight

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%
