铁强化食盐预防缺铁性贫血效果的观察

本文试以食盐为载体,使在食盐中每日为学龄前儿童增加元素铁5～10mg,对象为5岁的幼儿园儿童165名,分别在城镇与农村观察一年。初步的结果是:实验组与对照组在开始时的血红蛋白水平一致,但一年后,实验组由原来的平均值11.78±0.57增加至12.72±0.72,比对照组有明显的改善,这是解决缺铁性贫血的一种实际方法。

PRELIMINARY STUDY OF PREVENTING IRON DIFICIENCY ANEMIA BY IRON FORTIFICATION OF TABLE SALT

Iron deficiency anemia is a world wide concerned problem especially for the populations of children and pregnant women. Using table salt as a vehiclefor iron fortification is one way of preventive measures. This observation was using iron fortified salt with the level which provided an additive 5 to 10 mg of iron supplement for preschool children daily. Basically two groups of children living in different kindergartens, one had been given the fortified salt and the other served as control for one year. The initial hemoglobin levels of both group was the same, but one year later the hemoglobin level of the experimental group had changed from 11.78 ±0.57 up to 12.72± 0.70 and was different significantly from the control (p<0.05). It was thought to be one way for preventing anemia in a suitable situations. The results was also discussed.
