Nutritional Assessment of Infants with Hypochromic Anemia

CALVIN W. WOODRUFF M.D.1 and MARTHA DAILY GOODE B.S.1

1 From the Department of Pediatrics, Vanderbilt University School of Medicine, Nashville, Tennessee

Dietary histories on twenty-seven infants with hypochromic anemia show excessive milk consumption with high caloric intake. Their diets appeared to be adequate in all nutrients but iron. Seventeen of twentyseven infants had a daily dietary intake of less than 5 mg. iron.

The presence of iron deficiency in ten infants having an iron intake of 5 to 7 mg. per day indicates that such an intake may be inadequate for infants predisposed to iron deficiency by rapid growth or depleted iron stores.

These studies emphasize the importance of iron-rich cereals and other foods in the diet of the infants for the prevention of dietary deficiency. There was no evidence of other dietary deficiencies among these anemic iron-deficient children.
