Proper nutrition is an important environmental factor for the growth and control of health and disease in the life cycle stages. Investing in nutrition and diet throughout the life cycle brings about not only economic benefits but also practical social meaning such as saving the cost of medical care, increasing the intellectual capacity and productivity of adults. Nutrition is the foundation for the development of strength, health, wisdom, stature of children. When it comes to malnutrition, experts say it's not just about hunger but also implies the notion of "latent hunger" or lack of essential micronutrients such as Vitamin D, A, iron and zinc. This is a meaningful public health issue, in which high-risk groups of getting malnutrition are women and children, especially children under 5. Survey data from the National Institute of Nutrition show that the rate of micronutrient deficiency in children is over 30%. Micronutrient deficiencies can be completely prevented and eliminated if those with high risk of malnutrition are constantly exposed to a small amount of micronutrients. To prevent micronutrient deficiency, many solutions can be implemented including solutions to enhance the micronutrients in food. Foods that are fortified with micronutrients are often foods that are often used by people. Micronutrient Intake is a viable and sustainable intervention to improve micronutrient deficiency. Thai Binh is an agricultural province and rice is the main source of food for the people. So far, there have been no studies to evaluate the effect of multi-micronutrient fortified rice on the health status of people in general .
