A large number of children under the age of 5 years do not reach their developmental potential, IDA and iron deficiency being well documented risk factors. IDA has been shown to be an important cause for decreased attention span, reduced alertness and learning difficulties in both young children and adolescents.

Background Patients with diabetes have a 10% life-time risk of developing diabetic foot ulceration (DFU). DFU is the commonest cause of severe limb ischaemia in the western world.

Gap-junction channels are assembled of transmembrane proteins called connexins (Cx).

Motivation: A variety of factors including food shortage, poor hygiene and low education levels affects the nutritional status of black women.

BACKGROUND: Childhood anaemia, defined as haemoglobin (Hb) < 110 g/L, is widespread in Zambia, affecting 55% of children under 5 years and 70% of children under 12 months. More broadly, it is a global concern that has been linked to a range of negative health outcomes, some irreversible. While the causes of anaemia are well understood, the specific etiology varies regionally, complicating efforts to create interventions. Unfortunately, there has been only limited research on the causes of anaemia in Zambia. OBJECTIVES: To determine the prevalence of anaemia, iron deficiency, and iron deficien

Résumé généralIntroductionL’anémie est un problème majeur de santé publique particulièrement fréquent dans les pays à faible revenu, dont la RDC, et qui affecte avec prédilection les femmes enceintes et les enfants d’âge préscolaire. Elle est associée à un risque élevé de morbidité et de mortalité. Au cours de la grossesse, l’anémie peut entraver le développement du fœtus et peut affecter négativement la santé maternelle. Chez l’enfant, l’anémie peut en plus altérer le développement physique et mental si elle n’est pas rapidement corrigée. Il est généralement admis que la carence en fer est la

Abstract:
Iron-deficiency anaemia (IDA) is considered to be the most common nutritional deficiency among infants and children worldwide. The consequences of IDA on the developing central nervous system may be irreversible; these may include delayed mental and motor development, and reduced school performance. Infants are particularly prone to develop IDA if given foods low in iron content or foods that contain iron of low bioavailability. Infants from low socioeconomic background and Asian, Black or Hispanic infants, are believed to be at higher risk for IDA than White infants. There are no publis
