Abstract

Introduction: IRON defiency is the most common nutritional deficiency in children and one of the most important problems in general health care. Although the program of IRON supplementation in Iran is for 6-24 months INFANTs, reports indicate irregular use of IRON supplementation in 75.5% and 73.3% in urban and rural regions, respectively. Recent investigations show that daily usage of daily IRON supplementation for IRON deficiency anemia is the same as weekly and twice weekly, but there is not any report on prophylaxis of IRON deficiency anemia, so this is necessary to be investigated. Method & Material: In this randomized clinical trial study, 3 groups and each with 50 healthy 9-21 months INFANTs with hemoglobin (Hb) less than 10.5 (g/dl) were selected. Sampling method was simple random sampling and IRON supplementation administered daily, weekly and twice weekly in the 3 groups, respectively during a 3-months period. At the end of the research Hb was measured and information of each INFANT was recorded, then the average changes of Hb by using ANOVA and Chi-square statistical methods were compared. Results: The mean changes of Hb in 3 groups were 0.439, 0.225 and 0.063 (g/dl) respectively and there was not any difference between them. No case of anemia was observed at the end of intervention. The percentage of complications of IRON supplementation was 11.1%, 10.5% and 5.5% in 3 groups respectively and there was no significant difference between them. Conclusion: Daily, weekly and twice a week administration of IRON supplementation in INFANTs has the same effect on mean changes of Hb anemia and complications.
