Abstract
Objective: In New Zealand (NZ), Fe deficiency (ID) is present in 14 % of children aged P= 0·04) and obtained a larger proportion of Fe from meat and meat dishes (P= 0·02).Conclusions: A significant proportion of young NZ children have inadequate dietary Fe intake. This inadequate intake increases the risk of ID. Ethnic differences in Fe intake do not explain the increased risk of ID for Pacific children.This publication has 25 references indexed in Scilit:
