2. 1. Nutrition in the second year of life. Effects of different milk compositions on dietary intakes, growth and metabolism

   Author : Johan Svahn; Lund Pediatrik; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; protein intake; nitrogen; iron fortification; iron intake; growth; fatty acids; fat metabolism; fat intake; energy intake; dietary intake; blood lipids; cow´s milk; cholesterol; Amino acids; children; protein metabolism.; Pediatrics; Pediatri;

   Abstract : In the diet for young children, whole cow´s milk is the major contributor of calories, protein and saturated fat, but it supplies little iron and polyunsaturated fat. Although several recommendations exist for the composition of formula, recommendations for the composition of milk for young children are lacking. READ MORE

4. 2. Effects of iron supplementation on iron status, health and neurological development in marginally low birth weight infants

   Abstract : Background Due to small iron stores and rapid growth during the first months of life, infants with low birth weight (LBW) are at risk of iron deficiency (ID). ID in infancy is associated with irreversible impaired neurodevelopment. READ MORE

5. 3. IRON NUTRITION DURING EARLY CHILDHOOD. Factors influencing iron status and iron intake

   Author : Ann-Cathrine Bramhagen; Preventiv pediatrik; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; feeding situation; Medicine human and vertebrates ; Pediatrics; Medicin människa och djur ; iron deficiency; Pediatri; maternal experinces; influencing factors; iron intake; child*;

   Abstract : The overall aim of this thesis was to describe the prevalence of iron deficiency (ID) and factors influencing iron status and iron intake among otherwise healthy children. The specific aim in paper I+II was to describe the prevalence of ID among 2 ½-year-old children in relation to intake of cow's milk and follow-on formula. READ MORE

6. 4. Iron absorption in man - diet modification and fortification

   Author : Michael Hoppe; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : Iron absorption; Serum iron; Relative bioavailability; Elemental iron; Iron bioavailability; Iron fortification; Dietary modification; Developing countries;

   Abstract : Background: Iron (Fe) deficiency is globally the most common form of nutrient deficiency. The approach to combat this problem can be divided into two major strategies a): increasing the dietary Fe bioavailability by diet modification, or b): increasing the Fe intake through fortification.

7. 5. Anaemia and iron deficiency in children and women in Tanzania. Effects of dietary iron intake, low iron bioavailability and supplementation with multiple micronutrient beverage

   Author : Simon Tatala; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; serum ferritin; haemoglobin; multiple micronutrient beverage; dietary iron intake; anaemia; serum retinol; iron deficiency; children and Tanzania; pregnant women; iron bioavailability;

   Abstract : Anaemia was investigated in a rural Tanzanian community to determine its magnitude and causative factors in different population groups. Nutritional anaemia resulting mainly from a diet with a low bioavailability of iron affected more than half of the total number of women and children. READ MORE
