title: [Iron deficiency anemia and psychomotor development in infants].
abstract: During the last few years, several studies have indicated a strong correlation between iron-deficiency anaemia and a delay in the psychomotor development of infants. It is suggested that controlled studies should be carried out in order to reveal the prevalence of iron-deficiency anaemia among Norwegian infants, and that screening of the haemoglobin of the infants should be seriously considered as part of the routine health control of mother and child.
