Description

Anemias resulting from nutritional factors constitute the largest nutrition health problem affecting populations in both developed and developing nations. Nutritional Anemias examines these anemias in detail and offers a balanced approach that includes current research findings on the etiology and consequences of this important problem.

This authoritative contribution discusses intervention strategies, namely fortification, food-based strategies, and control of helminth infection in the prevention of nutritional anemia. It also examines supplementation: the problems of compliance with iron during pregnancy, benefits of weekly vs. daily use, and multinutrients.

With a critical review and analysis of successes and

failures, Nutritional Anemias includes lessons learned from past

and ongoing programs as well as current controversies. This new

reference is a timely and valuable resource.

Reviews

"This is a well researched and written book … a useful, powerful resource for academics, clinical and community practitioners, and public health policy decision-makers to increase their understanding of nutritional anemias. What's valuable is that the intended audience can draw on the experiences shared in this book to help in the development of a framework for the resolution of this global problem."
