This study was designed to ascertain some nutrition and nutrition related social factors in the environment of the child with anemia. In this study, it was found that the child with iron deficiency anemia consumed less iron per kilogram per day, drank more milk, was less likely to have been given supplemental iron, was introduced to strained foods at an older age, and had a greater number of siblings. The mother was more likely to be separated or divorced, view the child as having more feeding problems and be an inappropriate weight for age, have somewhat different expectations of his ability to perform certain tasks, and be, in general, less satisfied with the child. The family group spent less per capita on food and cared for the child in the home more of the time. A better understanding of these factors, important in the development of iron deficiency anemia, may eventually lead to amelioration of the problem.
本研究旨在确定贫血儿童所处环境中的一些营养及与营养相关的社会因素。在该研究中发现，缺铁性贫血儿童每日每公斤体重摄入的铁较少，饮用的牛奶较多，接受补充铁剂的可能性较小，开始食用辅食的年龄较大，且兄弟姐妹较多。母亲更有可能分居或离异，认为孩子有更多喂养问题且年龄别体重不合适，对其完成某些任务的能力期望有所不同，总体上对孩子的满意度较低。家庭群体人均食品支出较少，且更多时间在家照顾孩子。更好地理解这些在缺铁性贫血发展过程中起重要作用的因素，最终可能会改善这一问题。
