Introduction The double burden of malnutrition (DBM) is a global public health challenge. This study examined the prevalence population-level DBM, its demographic and socioeconomic determinants as well associations between anthropometric indicators undernutrition overnutrition, micronutrient deficiencies (MNDs), among Vietnamese children, using data from nationally representative General Nutrition Survey 2020. Methods Data on parameters, biomarkers, for 7289 children aged 6 months to 9 years were analysed. Determinants assessed logistic regressions, reported OR with 95% CIs. Results At national level, 12.7%, 10.5% 4.7% stunted, underweight wasted/thin, while 7.3% 7.1% overweight obese, respectively. Low serum zinc, anaemia iron deficiency common MNDs observed, affecting 53.1%, 15.2% 13.9% participants. Older 2–4 (OR (95% CI) 1.43 (1.20, 1.72)), ethnic minorities (5.94 (3.78, 9.36)) those living in mountainous areas (5.06 (1.18, 14.42)) had increased odds stunting, whereas reduced found richest quintile (0.13 (0.05, 0.32)). Similar associated MNDs. Males (1.43 (1.16, 1.76)), 5–9 (10.02 (6.71, 14.97) (2.91 7.05)) overweight. Children anaemia, low retinol zinc stunting than non-micronutrient-deficient (adjusted OR=1.43–1.71). Compared without MNDs, ≥3 almost underweight, ≤3 OR=0.38–0.60). Conclusions Significant variation inequalities child identified. National policies programmes Vietnam should address age-specific, sex-specific, geographical disparities accelerate progress reducing malnutrition.

Background/Objectives: Food insecurity during pregnancy is associated with higher risks of negative physical outcomes for both mother and child. This study aims to understand experiences food among low-income Singaporean pregnant women its impact on nutritional status. Methods: In this cross-sectional, mixed-methods study, 49 food-insecure were recruited from KK Women's Children's Hospital between November 2021 2023, which 11 in-depth interviews conducted. Questionnaires, anthropometric measurements, 24-Hour dietary recalls, metabolic blood tests conducted all subjects. Descriptive quantitative analysis was performed integrated qualitative thematic explain findings. Results: On average, overweight pre-pregnancy (body mass index 26.1 ± 6.9 kg/m2) had low haemoglobin 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels.

Inadequate housing, limited access to health services, and insufficient food increase vulnerability the disease. This study aimed identify sociodemographic, nutritional, anthropometric factors associated with active pulmonary tuberculosis. Methods: case–control was conducted at (TB) Referral Hospital in São Luís, Maranhão, Brazil, from 2022 2024. It included 65 patients TB 73 comparison individuals. Sociodemographic nutritional data were collected using an adapted semi-quantitative questionnaire 77 items, based on validated ELSA-BRASIL for adults, assess consumption calcium, phosphorus, iron, zinc, vitamin B3, B6, C, E, D.
