Earlier this month, another study by the National Institute of Nutrition of over 5,000 Vietnamese children aged 7 to 17 revealed that a lack of physical activity and inappropriate diets are responsible for the high rate of obesity among primary school students. Up to 29 per cent of surveyed primary school students are overweight or obese. The rate for secondary school students and high school students are 19 per cent and 9.5 per cent, respectively.
