No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Iron deficiency (ID) in early life is associated with significant morbidities. Most fetal iron required for infant growth is acquired in the third trimester from maternal iron store. However, how prenatal iron level affects newborn's ferritin level at birth and in early infancy remains controversial. This study aimed to examine the associations between maternal ferritin levels with cord blood serum ferritin (CBSF) and to compare the ferritin levels between different feeding practices in early infancy.
