Summary
This study tested whether giving iron supplements daily or weekly works better to prevent anemia in healthy Thai infants aged 6 to 12 months. A total of 287 babies were randomly assigned to receive iron daily or weekly for 3 months, then all switched to weekly for another 3 months. Researchers measured hemoglobin and ferritin levels to check iron status. The goal was to find a practical way to reduce anemia in this age group.
