Abstract/OtherAbstract:
The mounting evidence on the adverse effects of increasing iron stores raises the question of the appropriateness of existing national policies on iron fortification of foods and iron supplementation in the development countries. A pilot study on the pattern of iron supplementation during pregnancy was implemented in one county of Denmark. The results of the study suggest that there is inappropriate use of iron and laboratory investigation for haemoglobin during pregnancy. For recommendations to be made at national level similar studies should be performed in other counties of Denmark.
