Normal haemoglobin values in urban Polynesian infants: the possible deleterious influence of artificial feeding.
A longitudinal survey of urban Polynesian infants in the first year of life provided data on gastro-intestinal bleeding and haemoglobin estimations. The results show that urban Polynesian infants are significantly more anaemic than their European counterparts, and that cow's milk-induced gastro-intestinal bleeding may be a significant cause of this anaemia.
