Summary
This study looked at whether giving iron supplements to children aged 1 to 3 years with low iron (but not anemia) helps their learning and development. 127 children received either iron liquid or a placebo for 4 months, plus diet advice. Researchers measured thinking and motor skills before and after treatment to see if early detection and treatment of low iron is worthwhile.
