Most efforts towards eliminating micronutrient deficiencies have focused on vitamin A, iron, and iodine deficiency. But deficiency of other micronutrients also affect public health. The purpose of the present review is to provide an overview of micronutrient deficiency prevalence in South-East Asia and potential public health impact. Recent findings Representative and up-to-date data on micronutrient status in South-East Asia is limited. Although anemia is still prevalent in South-East Asia, iron deficiency appears not to be prevalent in Cambodia, and less prevalent than thought in Vietnam and Indonesia. Estimates of prevalence of vitamin A deficiency range widely, but most recent data suggest a prevalence of deficiency in children less than 5 years of age less than 15% in most countries. Zinc deficiency is highly prevalent in the region (affecting >30% of subjects). Thiamine deficiency is highly prevalent in Cambodia, Laos, and Myanmar. A better coordination of efforts to reduce micronutrient deficiency, and a focus more inclusive for other micronutrients than iron, vitamin A, and iodine is urgently needed for South-East Asia. specialized anemia deficiency iodine iron micronutrient public health thiamine vitamin A zinc ASIE DU SUD EST CAMBODGE VIET NAM INDONESIE 054 050 020 22 6 479-482 2019 1363-1950 https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010077783 10.1097/mco.0000000000000603 1363-1950 [F B010077783] https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010077783 https://www.documentation.ird.fr/intranet/publi/2020/01/010077783.pdf Accès réservé (Intranet de l'IRD) IRD - Base Horizon / Pleins textes 2020-02-05 2020-03-09 fdi:010077783 fre
