Iron nutrition in infancy: effect of an iron-fortified milk formula.
Iron nutrition in infants was studied in a double-blind trial with artificial milk formula. Statistically significant differences were observed with the iron-fortified formula. Not all haematological indices showed significant differences. The fragiligraph technique result was the only parameter showing differences not influenced by other variables examined.
