Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 90 patients prior to gastrointestinal surgery at Vietnam-Germany Friendship Hospital. The nutritional status of the patients were assessed using body mass index (BMI), mid-upper arm circumference (MUAC), biochemical index and risk assessment of malnutrition according to the subjective global assessment (SGA).
The RDA for Vietnamese 2007 has been developed based on the lattest knowledge of nutrition sciences. It has been updated with more appropriate information according to the changes in food consumption and morbidity pattern currently.
Aims: To identify the hypertension status and its nutritional associated factors in adults in two coastal communes of Nghe An province.

Objective: To develop a method to detect curcumin concentration in health supplement by high performance liquid chromatography with a photodiode array detector. Method: Curcurmin was extracted by sonication in methanol for 30 min and separated by a reversed phase C18 column using a mobile phase including buffer, methanol and acetonitrile.
Khẩu phần dinh dưỡng hợp lý rất cần thiết cho phát triển toàn diện cả về thể lực và trí lực của học sinh tiểu học (HSTH). Các nghiên cứu về tần suất tiêu thụ thực phẩm (TSTTTP) và khẩu phần thực tế của HSTH ở Việt Nam triển khai chưa nhiều và chưa có hệ thống.
The clinical trial was conducted in adults, who are overweight/obese. It is evident that the weight reducing milk is safe, convenient and has no side effects. After 6 weeks of trial, the product had the efficacy of reducing weight, which is 5.9% of average body weight (3.9kg).
Several factors that influence histamine content in scad products were investigated in a cross sectional study in Thanh Hoa province in 2012. Histamine levels were found from 0.28mg/kg to 1665mg/kg in fresh scads and from 0.08mg/kg to 241mg/kg in processed scads. The histamine content depends on the type of scad, duration from purchasing to processing, the storage conditions, and primary-processing procedures.
