Abstract
Multiple micronutrient deficiencies during pregnancy in Vietnam may contribute to poor fetal growth and stunting, which are major determinants of the health and development offuture generations. We assessed the effects of prenatal multiple micronutrient supplementation on maternal weight gain during pregnancy, infant birthweight, and height of the child at around 2 years of age. We conducted a nonrandomized, non-blinded, side-by-side effectiveness trial in a normal program setting in three districts in the Red River Delta in the north of Vietnam. Women in one district received the standard iron-folic acid supplement during prenatal care; women in the second district received the multiple micronutrient supplement; in the third district, gender training was provided in addition to the multiple micronutrient supplement. Cluster surveys were carried out in the three districts at the end of the trial to verify low birthweight (LBW) and at around 2 years after the trial to measure children's height and weight, as well as to collect demographic data on the mothers. Mean birthweight was higher in the districts receiving multiple micronutrient supplements than in the district receiving iron-folic acid tablets. The mean birthweight was 1...Continue Reading
