Abstract

Background: Micronutrients deficiency is one of the most health problems in the world. IRON and ZINC deficiency and their interaction with vitamin A are important, too. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of SUPPLEMENTATION of IRON and ZINC, alone or combined, on vitamin A status of primary school CHILDREN. Material and methods: The study was a randomized double-blind clinical trial in which 81 primary school CHILDREN, 11 y of age, were randomly supplemented for 4 months with IRON (20 mg/d), ZINC (20 mg/d), or IRON+ ZINC (20 mg of each/d). PLASMA RETINOL was measured at beginning and after 4 months by HPLC method. SPSS version 11.5 software was used. Data were analyzed by ANOVA, and paired t test.Results: PLASMA RETINOL changes in IRON, ZINC, and IRON +zinc groups were: -0.1±0.2, -0.1±0.1, -0.1±0.1 mmol/L, respectively. These changes in female and male were, respectively: -0. 18±0.2,-0.03±0.1 for IRON group, -0.1±0.1, -0.08±0.09 for ZINC group, and -0. 14±0.2,-0.06±0.1 for IRON + ZINC group retinol decreased in all supplemented groups. Deficient or non-deficient basal serum ZINC had no effect on result. Conclusion: PLASMA RETINOL was decreased in all supplemented groups. As, decrease in PLASMA RETINOL results :tromthe SUPPLEMENTATION, more studies should be carried out on this subject.
