| Abstract |
This study assessed iron and zinc levels of preschoolers. 276 children were randomly chosen from 8 preschools. Weight and height were measured using standard techniques. After blood was obtained, serum zinc, iron, ferritin, transferrin saturation, and transferrin were assessed. Dietary intake was calculated using the Food Frequency Questionnaire. Prevalence of severe underweight, stunted, and acute malnutrition was 4.7%, 12.7% and 2.9%. Using transferrin saturation<5%, one-quarter were iron deficient. Using serum iron<40 μg/dl as indicative of depletion, 8% exhibited low serum iron while 18% were mildly deficient. Based on ferritin<12 μg/L, 99% had iron deficiency. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 15 May 2023.
All research outputs
#16,488,396
of 24,262,436 outputs
Outputs from Ecology of Food and Nutrition
#303
of 406 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#221,743
of 380,890 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Ecology of Food and Nutrition
#2
of 2 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 24,262,436 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 21st percentile – i.e., 21% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 406 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 10.4. This one is in the 15th percentile – i.e., 15% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 380,890 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 29th percentile – i.e., 29% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 2 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one.
