Summary

The objective of this study is to determine the influence of an increase of meat in complementary food on iron status and the effect of an exchange of vegetable oil in the same food on the status of omega-3 fatty acids in infants in the second six months of life.

Conditions

  • Iron Status
  • Fatty Acid Status

Interventions

OTHER

more meat and a vegetable oil rich in omega-3 fatty acids

The vegetable-potato-meat-meal was given 5 to 7 times a week for at least during the seventh to tenth month. The intervention meals had more meat (about 13 % of weight) and rapeseed oil (rich in omega-3 fatty acids).

OTHER

Babyfood with usual meat content and corn oil

The active comparator (which is the control group) got babyfood with usual meat content (8%) and with corn oil, which is rich in omega 6 linoleic acid
