Fe and vitamin A indicators were corrected for inflammation and were compared in the Fe-deficient and non-deficient groups as well as between those with and without inflammation. Logistic regression was done to determine whether vitamin A status and subclinical inflammation were risk factors for Fe deficiency. The differences in Fe status among tertiles of vitamin A concentrations were assessed using ANOVA.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"S1368980013002723_abs3\" sec-type=\"general\"><jats:title>Setting<\/jats:title><jats:p>Myanmar.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"S1368980013002723_abs4\" sec-type=\"subjects\"><jats:title>Subjects<\/jats:title><jats:p>Adolescent schoolgirls (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>391).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"S1368980013002723_abs5\" sec-type=\"results\"><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>One-third of the anaemia (30\u00b74 %) was IDA.

Fe and vitamin A status were significantly different between the IDA and non-IDA groups and also based on their inflammation status. Logistic regression showed that low vitamin A status was a significant predictor for being Fe deficient (OR = 1\u00b781; 95 % CI 1\u00b703, 3\u00b719 and OR = 2\u00b731; 1\u00b731, 4\u00b707 in the middle (1\u00b7056\u20131\u00b7298 \u03bcmol\/l) and low (\u22641\u00b7056 \u03bcmol\/l) vitamin A tertiles, respectively).
