Low prevalence of iron deficiency and iron deficiency anemia in children attending daycare in a large Canadian city
Children are vulnerable to iron deficiency (ID) and iron deficiency anemia (IDA) due to rapid tissue expansion. Recent Canadian surveys reported that 1–3 y and 4–8 y in Québec had an iron intake of 10.1 mg and 13.7 mg/day respectively; however, iron status was not assessed. This study examined the p...
