Hematological studies were carried out in 110 children with varying levels of plasma retinol to investigate the relationship between vitamin A deficiency and anemia. In children with plasma retinol levels below 20 microgram/100 ml, the mean levels of hemoglobin and hematocrit were lower than those in children who had retinol levels above 20 microgram/100 ml. Following supplementation of vitamin A, there was a significant increase in the levels of hemoglobin, hematocrit and plasma iron. These findings suggest that apart from deficiency of iron, vitamin A deficiency may also have a contributory role in the development of anemia in children.
对110名血浆视黄醇水平各异的儿童进行了血液学研究，以调查维生素A缺乏与贫血之间的关系。血浆视黄醇水平低于20微克/100毫升的儿童，其血红蛋白和血细胞比容的平均水平低于视黄醇水平高于20微克/100毫升的儿童。补充维生素A后，血红蛋白、血细胞比容和血浆铁水平显著升高。这些发现表明，除了铁缺乏外，维生素A缺乏可能在儿童贫血的发生中也起一定作用。
