Pediatric Nutrition Handbook . 1993 Elk Grove Village, Ill.: American Academy of Pediatrics Iron deficiency is defined as a deficit that is severe enough to limit the production of hemoglobin. Seventy-five percent of the iron found in the body is used as a constituent of hemoglobin. A deficiency in iron is extremely common among infants and can lead to anemia, but it also is prevented easily through dietary intervention. Iron deficiency anemia is most common among children between 6 months and 3 years of age. Infants of 9 to 15 months of age usually are screened routinely. Iron deficiency and infection are the most common causes of anemia. In the United States, the prevalence of iron deficiency anemia has declined significantly during the past two decades. In a term infant, iron deficiency anemia is uncommon before 4 to 6 months of age because of the abundance of iron stores at birth. After these iron stores are depleted by growth, dietary … [1]: {openurl}?query=rft.jtitle%253DThe%2BJournal%2Bof%2Bpediatrics%26rft.stitle%253DJ%2BPediatr%26rft.aulast%253DSaarinen%26rft.auinit1%253DU.%2BM.%26rft.volume%253D93%26rft.issue%253D2%26rft.spage%253D177%26rft.epage%253D180%26rft.atitle%253DNeed%2Bfor%2Biron%2Bsupplementation%2Bin%2Binfants%2Bon%2Bprolonged%2Bbreast%2Bfeeding.%26rft_id%253Dinfo%253Apmid%252F671150%26rft.genre%253Darticle%26rft_val_fmt%253Dinfo%253Aofi%252Ffmt%253Akev%253Amtx%253Ajournal%26ctx_ver%253DZ39.88-2004%26url_ver%253DZ39.88-2004%26url_ctx_fmt%253Dinfo%253Aofi%252Ffmt%253Akev%253Amtx%253Actx [2]: /lookup/external-ref?access_num=671150&link_type=MED&atom=%2Fpedsinreview%2F20%2F10%2F359.atom [3]: /lookup/external-ref?access_num=A1978FJ17600002&link_type=ISI

Bone Mineral Content, Lean and Fat Body Mass after Significant Weight Loss in Obese Children and Adolescents

Research indicates that prevention of adult obesity may be accomplished through the treatment of prediatric obesity. However, it is unclear whether treatment should begin during the early or later childhood years. We examined the one-year program retention and weight maintenance of 139 obese children(M=63, F=76; Age=12.11±2.6 yrs.; Range=7.1-17.6 yrs.) enrolled in a multidisciplinary pediatric weight management program. The one-year program consisted of a protein-sparing modified fast diet, followed by a balanced hypocaloric diet, nutrition education, behavior modification, and a moderate-intensity (45-55% VO2max), progressive exercise program. Measures of height, weight, percent of ideal body weight (%IBW), and body mass index (BMI) were obtained at baseline, ten weeks and one year. For statistical analysis, subjects were blocked by age as follows: 7-8 yrs., 9-10 yrs., 11-12 yrs., and 13+ yrs. A repeated measures one way analysis of variance indicated the the results in the table (%IBW, mean±S.D;*Baseline to 10 weeks and baseline to 1 year. 10 weeks to 1 year = N.S.).
