Abstract

Kekurangan zat besi merupakan masalah yang sering ditemui di kalangan kanak-kanak. Kekurangan zat besi pada kanak-kanak 2 tahun ke bawah boleh mengganggu kesihatan mental, melembabkan perkembangan psikomotor serta membantutkan tumbesaran. Penentuan kadar prevalens kekurangan zat besi di kalangan kanak-kanak di Kelantan diharapkan dapat memberi gambaran kasar masalah ini di Malaysia, manakala pengenalpastian faktor-faktor risiko kekurangan zat besi dapat membantu strategi pencegahan. Iron deficiency (ID) is the most common nutritional deficiency in childhood (Dallman et al, 1980). Iron deficiency anaemia (IDA) in children less than 2 years causes behavioural abnormalities and developmental delay (Lozoff et al, 1991). Prevalence figures are therefore needed to estimate the scope of the problem and identification of potential risk factors associated with ID and IDA will help to formulate preventive strategies.
