Hb at this age tended to be higher in those with higher birth weight. We also found a season effect on Hb, as it tended to be higher as the study progressed. The high prevalence of anaemia at such an early age needs to be addressed to minimize the disease\u2019s long-term consequences.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1017\/s1368980009005886","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2009,5,28]],"date-time":"2009-05-28T12:47:36Z","timestamp":1243514856000},"page":"4-11","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":16,"title":["Unexpectedly high early prevalence of anaemia in 6-month-old breast-fed infants in rural Bangladesh"],"prefix":"10.1017","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"Yaseer A","family":"Shakur","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Nuzhat","family":"Choudhury","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"SM","family":"Ziauddin Hyder","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Stanley H","family":"Zlotkin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"56","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2009,5,28]]},"reference":[{"key":"S1368980009005886_ref25","first-page":"232","volume-title":"The Canadian Guide to Clinical Preventive Health Care","author":"Feightner","year":"1994"},{"key":"S1368980009005886_ref5","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"190","DOI":"10.1056\/NEJM199307153290308","article-title":"Iron deficiency in infancy and childhood","volume":"329","author":"Oski","year":"1993","journal-title":"N Engl J Med"},{"key":"S1368980009005886_ref24","unstructured":"24.
