Abstract
When a child's supply of iron, folic acid or vitamin B12 is impaired, he may have a nutritional anemia. Iron-deficiency anemia is by far the most common. In children aged six months to two years, the reported incidence ranges from 20 to 30 percent among those from a good socioeconomic background to more than 70 percent among those in poorer communities.This publication has 9 references indexed in Scilit:
