[Effect of NaFeEDTA fortified soy sauce on iron deficiency anemia in students].
NaFeEDTA fortified soy sauce was given to 300 students with iron deficiency anemia (IDA) for 3 months. The subjects were divided into three groups: control group, low iron supplemented group (Fe 5 mg/d) and high iron supplemented group (Fe 20 mg/d). Hemoglobin (Hb), serum iron, serum ferrtin, erythrocyte protoporphyrin, total iron binding capacity and serum transferrin were evaluated before and after the study. The results showed that Hb, serum iron, ferrtin and transferrin of the intervention groups had improved and erythrocyte protoporphyrin, total iron binding capacity decreased. There were no differences between the two intervention groups after the trial. The parameters of both intervention groups were much better than those of the control group. The results suggested that NaFeEDTA fortified soy sauce had positive influence on IDA.
