Micronutrient deficiencies are major public health problem in the world.
Global Prevalence of Iron, Vitamin A and Iodine Deficiencies
2 billion suffer from zinc deficiency
2 billion suffer from iron deficiency
600 million - iodine deficiency disorders
250 million children are vitamin A deficient
5
Anemia is a global public health problem affecting both developing and developed countries with major consequences for human health. It occurs at all stages of the life cycle, but is more prevalent in children and pregnant women.

The Public Health Problem in Vietnam
Nutritional deficiencies are the leading public health problems in Vietnam:
Anemia, Vitamin A Deficiency among preschool
children, school children, pregnant women and
non-pregnant women
No available data on profile of trace element
deficiencies such as Se, Zn, Mg, and Mo in children
and adults.
APJCN16(1):152-157; Hanoi Medical Publishing House 2003,

Anemia is an indicator of both poor nutrition and poor health. The
consequences including:
Social and economic development.
Cognitive performance, behavior
Physical growth of children
Immune status, morbidity from infections.
Epidemiological studies have shown
Iron deficiency is a main cause of anemia
Association of vitamin A deficiency to anemia
A few studies have been done to describe the relationship of anemia
with deficiency in trace elements

Trace elements (Se, Zn, Cu, Mg, and Mo) are essential nutrients
with regulatory, immunologic, and antioxidant functions
resulting from their action as essential components or cofactors
of enzymes throughout metabolism.

Selenium: Historical Background
• Selenium was identified as a new chemical element in
1817 (1).
• Selenium was recognized to be an essential micronutrient
in 1957, when they observed that selenium prevented liver
necrosis in vitamin E-deficient rats (2).
• Selenium was found to be a constituent of the enzyme
glutathione peroxidase in 1973 (3).

Selenium and Iodine
Se is essential for the biosynthesis and
function of a small number of selenocysteine
- containing selenoproteins implicated in
thyroid hormone metabolism and gland
function.
Se-dependent glutathione peroxidases are
implicated in thyroid gland protection.
Mol Nutr Food Res. 2008 Nov;52(11):1235-46

The importance of selenium to human health was recognized in 1979,
when Chinese scientists discovered that selenium supplementation
protected against Keshan disease, an endemic cardiomyopathy that
occurs primarily among children living in areas of China with selenium-
poor soils (1).
In 1984, selenium deficiency was shown to be associated with widespread
anemia among cattle grazing in selenium-poor areas in the Florida,
USA, and selenium supplementation prevented the anemia (2).

Việt Nam (ước tính): 20 µg/ngày

Selenium deficiency may contribute to anemia among dialysis patients
and adults with pulmonary tuberculosis1,2.
These observations in humans are consistent with studies in animals,
which have shown that selenium deficiency is associated with
anemia.
At present, selenium deficiency should be considered a possible cause
of anemia.

• High prevalence of anemia and micronutrient deficiency has been reported in developing
countries, including Vietnam.
• A few studies assessed serum levels of trace
elements in children and adults. No study on
profile of serum trace elements and anemia
among these subjects in Vietnam.
• A better understanding of the interactions among
anemia, and deficiency in essential trace
elements.
Rationale
1919
Objectives
These cross-sectional studies were aimed to assess:
Hb levels in whole blood
Serum Vitamin A
Serum levels of essential elements (Se, Zn, Fe, Cu, Mg, and
Mo)
To investigate the relationship of micronutrient
deficiencies to anemia among preschool children,
primary school children, adolescent girls, and adults
living in rural Vietnam
2020
Subjects: preschool children aged
1-5 yrs; primary schoolchildren 6-9
yrs adolescent girls 11-17 yrs. Adult
from 20 to 60 yrs.
Study area: Thainguyen, Bacninh,

Statistics
Data were analyzed using the SPSS version 11.0
The independent-samples T-test was used to compare levels
of trace elements in anemic and none-anemic groups.
Logistic regression analyses were used to find the
relationships between anemia, vitamin A, and levels of trace
elements.
Statistical significance indicated when P < 0.05

• Anemia was found in 30.0% of
the study population.
• The subjects who had anemia
were classified as anemic group
while the others were
designated non-anemic group.

Selenium deficiency leading to anemia
• A mechanism by which selenium deficiency could potentially
contribute to anemia is through modulation of inflammation. Low
serum Se concentrations among disabled older women living in the
USA were predictive of subsequent increase in interleukin (IL)-6.
• Thus, Se could potentially play a role in the anemia of chronic
inflammation through its relationship with the upregulation of IL-6.
• In turn, IL-6 has been implicated in the upregulation of hepcidin, the
iron regulatory hormone that blocks iron absorption in the gut and
iron release from macrophages and the liver.
4747
In Adults:
The incidence of anemia was 30% and lower serum selenium
levels were found in anemic compared to non-anemic groups.
In Preschool Children:
Prevalence of anemia: 55.6%; Vitamin A deficiency: 10.7%
Se deficiency was 65.3%, Zn deficiency was 86.9%, Mg deficiency was
51.9% and Cu Deficiency was 1.7%.
The first data showed a strong association of selenium deficiency
with anemia in children.
Conclusions
48
In primary school children:
Prevalence of anemia and VAD was 45.2%, and 11.3%, respectively.
Prevalence of zinc, selenium, and magnesium deficiency in the
children was 91.4%, 75.6%, 59.5%, respectively.
The results showed an association of low serum Se with anemia.
In Adolescent Girls:
Prevalence of anemia was 20.4%; low serum Se was 15.9% and low
serum Zn 26.5%.
The results showed a strong association of low serum Se with
anemia.
Conclusions (cont)
4949
Se deficiency is associated with anemia among preschool children, school
children, adolescent girls, and adults living in rural Vietnam.
Important public health question? Does Se deficiency contribute to anemia
in other populations at high risk for anemia, such as pregnant women? non-
pregnant women? It is not known whether improving dietary Se intake will
increase Hb levels among populations with Se deficiency?
Given the present findings, it is urgent that well-designed clinical control
trials will provide the strongest evidence for the role of Se in anemia among
human populations.
Future Directions for Research

Future Directions for Research
• Indications that a suboptimal selenium status may have much wider significance in influencing disease susceptibility must be pursued.
• Studies must cover both the impact of selenium deficiency on protection against oxidative damage during tissue trauma and its genetic implication for viral virulence.
