Early micronutrient check crucial for early child development

In Vietnam, almost one-fifth of children under five suffer from malnutrition and stunted growth. According to a report, an early assessment of micronutrients is crucial to support the child's developmental phase.

The so-called 'golden phase' of development requires adequate nutrition. Experts therefore advise to have the micronutrient status of children checked in a timely manner. This could prevent long-term health problems.

The figures come from a recent study that examined the nutritional status of Vietnamese children. According to the source, malnutrition can have long-term consequences for health.
