Iron deficiency anemia in infants and toddlers

Abstract: BackgroundIn Korea, the prevalence of anemia and iron deficiency anemia (IDA) among older infants and young children remains high. To detect IDA early and to reduce its adverse impact, we assessed the characteristics of infants and young children who had IDA or were at risk of developing IDA, or who exhibited characteristics associated with severe anemia.MethodsAmong the 1,782 IDA-affected children aged 6 months to 18 years who visited the hospital, we retrospectively analyzed the medical records and laborator… Show more

“…24 In a Korean study, the highest prevalence of IDAwas noted in the infants aged 9 to 12 months and IDA was observed predominantly in boys (906 boys [M], and 424 girls [F]; M:F ¼ 2.14:1). 25 The coincidence of high prevalence of IDA, increased rates of mild head trauma, LSV, and male sex in infants at this particular age, might contribute to the risk of stroke. One of our patients had IDA.…”

“…Artinya bahwa ada faktor lain yang memiliki peranan lebih besar terhadap konsentrasi hemoglobin daripada konsentrasi feritin, seperti penyakit infeksi akut maupun kronis. Hal ini sesuai dengan temuan penelitian ini, yang menunjukkan bahwa sebanyak 2,7 persen subjek mengalami AGB disertai penyakit infeksiJoo melaporkan beberapa jenis penyakit yang sering berhubungan dengan kondisi AGB pada anak umur 6-23 bulan meliputi masalah pernapasan sebanyak 47,7 persen dan masalah pencernaan sebanyak 13,7 persen 32 .…”

“…Anaemia is characterized by a decrease in the total amount of haemoglobin or reduction in number of red blood cells, leading to compromised physiological needs of the body. (1) Anaemia in childhood is defined as "a haemoglobin (Hb) concentration below cut off levels established by the World Health Organization: <11 g/dl in children aged 6-59 months, <11.5 g/dl in children aged 5-11 years and 12 g/dl in older children (aged [12][13][14]". (2) There are no countries; where anaemia is not at least a mild public health problem.…”
