Clinical Trial Summary

This study aims to compare the efficacy of daily iron supplementation and weekly iron supplementation in infants aged 6-12 months on the prevalence of anemia, hemoglobin level, and serum ferritin levels. Infants will be enrolled at 6 months and will be randomly assigned to receive either daily or weekly iron supplementation for the first 3 months and will be followed by weekly iron supplementation for another 3 months.


Description:

This study aims to compare the efficacy of daily iron supplementation and weekly iron supplementation in infants aged 6-12 months on the prevalence of anemia, hemoglobin level, and serum ferritin levels. Normal birth weight and term infants will be enrolled at 6 months based on the inclusion criteria. Eligible participants will be assessed at baseline, including anthropometry, dietary intake, and biochemistry (hemoglobin, iron status, vitamin A status, and inflammation). Participants will then be randomly assigned to receive either daily or weekly iron supplementation for the first 3 months. Participants will be followed up at 9 months for the same assessments and will receive weekly iron supplementation for another 3 months. Participants will be followed up at 12 months and the same assessments will be performed. After that, participants will go back to the routine health care service, weekly iron supplementation.
