The WIC Program (Special Supplemental Food Program for Women, Infants and Children) was initiated in the early 1970s to improve the nutritional status of pregnant women, lactating women, and children from birth to 5 years of age who were at risk for nutritionally related health problems. Better hematologic status of a group of preschool-aged infants who were enrolled in the WIC Program from birth, as compared with another group of similar age and socioeconomic status from the pre-WIC Program era, suggests that participation in the WIC Program will help limit the development of iron depletion or iron deficiency anemia in young children, an important consideration in view of the deleterious hematologic and nonhematologic effects that have been attributed to those conditions.
妇女、婴儿和儿童营养补充计划（WIC计划）始于20世纪70年代初，旨在改善孕妇、哺乳期妇女以及出生至5岁有营养相关健康问题风险的儿童的营养状况。一组从出生就参加WIC计划的学龄前婴儿，与另一组来自WIC计划实施前时代、年龄和社会经济地位相似的婴儿相比，血液学状况更好，这表明参与WIC计划有助于限制幼儿缺铁或缺铁性贫血的发展，鉴于这些状况已被证实会产生有害的血液学和非血液学影响，这是一个重要的考虑因素。
