Brief Summary:
This study aimed to reveal the effects of prophylactic iron preparations adequate breast milk intake and iron-rich supplementary food intake in the prevention of IDA iron deficiency anemia and ID iron deficiency in infancy
Detailed Description:
Iron plays an important role in oxidation and reduction reactions which have a very important place in the continuation of life Iron plays an essential role in these reactions because it can easily gain and lose electrons in redox reactions Iron is mostly found in the heme molecule in organisms However iron has structural and functional importance for many enzymes and proteins other than heme Iron deficiency ID is the most common nutritional deficiency in children worldwide ID is more common in socio-economically developing geographies However it is still an important problem in developed countries A plasma ferritin level below 12 mgL is defined as ID which is often used synonymously with iron deficiency anemia IDA However ID develops before anemia occurs Weakness fatigue tiring quickly insomnia and regression in neuro-cognitive functions may occur in ID that precedes the signs of anemia With the development of anemia the clinical diagnosis of IDA is fully revealed
In ID that occurs in infancy psychomotor development is adversely affected and the development of cognitive functions slows down or even stops Immune system functions regress Although iron treatment can reverse these negative effects some effects are permanent Therefore prevention of ID is more important than treatment In addition it is easier and cheaper to prevent ID and IDA than to treat them It is a health policy to recommend iron prophylaxis to children aged 4-12 months in the Republic of Turkey
Adding iron-rich foods to the diet adequate breast milk intake and prophylaxis with iron preparations can be used to prevent ID and IDA However there are different data in the literature on the use of prophylactic iron preparations
