Abstract

Objective To evaluate the effects of nutrition intervention on rural boarding school students in two counties in Shaanxi province. Methods Two intervention towns and one economy-matched control town in Chunhua and Yulin county,Shaanxi province were selected,respectively.One middle school and one primary school were further selected in each town.One academic year comprehensive nutrition intervention was implemented in intervention schools. Results There were no significant differences of the energy,protein,fat and carbohydrate intake between the intervention group and the control group.Protein percentage of energy was 12.4%,significantly higher than that in control group(11.8%).Vitamin A,Ca,K and Zn intakes were significantly higher than those in control group.There were no significant differences of the average HAZ and BAZ between the intervention group and the contorl group except boys with 7~9 years old and girls with 12~15 years old.However,the prevalences of severe and moderate low-weight were significantly lower in the intervention group than those in the control group.Serum vitamin B12 level in the intervention group (778.5 ng/L) was significantly higher than that in the control group(654.4 ng/L). Conclusion Nutrition intervention can improve the dietary nutrients status,decrease the prevalence of the severe and moderate low-weight,and improve the blood micronutrients levels of the students in rural boarding schools.
