摘要: The growth of 694 children from rural Bangladesh was studied. Children drinking water containing greater than 1 mg iron/l (n = 628) were significantly taller those less 66): their mean (SD) height for age Z score -2.10 (1.34) compared with -2.45 (1.24), p 0.05. This suggests that iron deficiency may contribute to retardation in poor communities.
