The contentration of serum Zn and Fe was normal. (2) Vitamin 4 h load test showed that 19.27% of the soldiers were defincient in VB1, 49.27% in VB1 , 21.95% in VB2 , 63.41 % in VB2 and 31.22% in VC ..Conclusion The young soldiers are deficient in vitamin B1, vitamin B2, calcium and seleniumto different extents, so dietary supplement and dietary adjustment should be carried out to improve their nutritional status.
