As demonstrated by the new study, the level of iron deficiency anemia among infants of overweight significantly higher than that of children with normal birth weight. Iron deficiency can lead to the development of mental and physical development of older children. Therefore, prevention of anemia in children from 1 to three years is an important public health problem. Dr. Jane Brotanek (Dr. Jane Brotanek) at Texas Tech University and his colleagues found that 20% of children are overweight or that the level of iron deficiency anemia, while children with normal body weight compared to less than seven percent. Iron deficiency leads to a reduction of oxygen to tissues, which is the leading element in the development of clinical symptoms. Researchers blame the parents in the development of anemia, which is primarily associated with artificial feeding, poor in iron and leads to an increase in body weight. Prolonged breast-feeding may be considered as prevention of anemia, because breast milk contains the necessary amount of iron for the baby. Doctors advised to think that parents poured their children in the bottle, as this depends on their health in the future.
