摘要

这项研究评估了学龄前儿童的铁和锌水平。从8所幼儿园随机抽取276名儿童。使用标准技术测量体重和身高。取血后，测定血清锌、铁、铁蛋白、转铁蛋白饱和度和转铁蛋白。使用食物频率问卷计算膳食摄入量。严重体重不足、发育迟缓和急性营养不良的患病率分别为4.7%、12.7%和2.9%。利用转铁蛋白饱和度

Iron and zinc status of children aged 3 to 5 years attending Early Childhood Development centres in Venda, South Africa.

This study assessed iron and zinc levels of preschoolers. 276 children were randomly chosen from 8 preschools. Weight and height were measured using standard techniques. After blood was obtained, serum zinc, iron, ferritin, transferrin saturation, and transferrin were assessed. Dietary intake was calculated using the Food Frequency Questionnaire. Prevalence of severe underweight, stunted, and acute malnutrition was 4.7%, 12.7% and 2.9%. Using transferrin saturation<5%, one-quarter were iron deficient. Using serum iron<40 μg/dl as indicative of depletion, 8% exhibited low serum iron while 18% were mildly deficient. Based on ferritin<12 μg/L, 99% had iron deficiency.

期刊介绍： Ecology of Food and Nutrition is an international journal of food and nutrition in the broadest sense. The journal publishes peer-reviewed articles on all aspects of food and nutrition -- ecological, biological, and cultural. Ecology of Food and Nutrition strives to become a forum for disseminating scholarly information on the holistic and cross-cultural dimensions of the study of food and nutrition. It emphasizes foods and food systems not only in terms of their utilization to satisfy human nutritional needs and health, but also to promote and contest social and cultural identity. The content scope is thus wide -- articles may focus on the relationship between food and nutrition, food taboos and preferences, ecology and political economy of food, the evolution of human nutrition, changes in food habits, food technology and marketing, food and identity, and food sustainability. Additionally, articles focusing on the application of theories and methods to address contemporary food and nutrition problems are encouraged. Questions of the relationship between food/nutrition and culture are as germane to the journal as analyses of the interactions among nutrition and environment, infection and human health.
