Abstract

Objective:To determine effects of zinc intervention on the absorption of dietary iron.Methods:520 pre school children aged 6 to 7 years(equal numbers of boys and girls),who were divided randomly into 4 groups:zinc supplement group,zinc plus micronutrient supplement group,micronutrient supplement group and control group.The experiment lasted for 10 weeks.Before and after zinc and micronutrients supplemented,blood samples were analyzed for haemoglobin(HB).Results:The observations showed that the concentration of HB in micronutrient supplement group is significantly higher than the others( P0 05 ),the absorption of dietary iron is affected apparently by micronutrients.Conclusion:Attention should be paid to the supplementation of other nutrients before choosing some micronutrients be supplied of dietary for child.
