Utilization of Dietary Iron by Term Infants: A Study of 1,048 Infants From a Low Socioeconomic Population
Abstract
THE RATE OF physical growth is faster and the need for iron is greater during the first year of life than at any other time. Many estimates of the iron required to support this growth have been calculated. Calculations of the amount of exogenous iron required to maintain hematologic standards and to fulfill growth potential are based on determinations of hemoglobin iron (derived from hemoglobin concentration and total blood volume at various ages) plus tissue iron. Investigators have calculated that a term infant with adequate endogenous iron, manifesting satisfactory weight gain and hemoglobin concentration at one year of age, will have utilized from 0.29-0.78 mg of elemental iron per day.1-4 To provide for the requirements of infants in a wide variety of situations, Sturgeon5recommends a daily allowance of 1.0-1.5 mg/kg body weight during the first year of life.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
