The results of the present study could aid in the development of an iron-deficiency anaemia programme among pregnant women in rural Vietnam that emphasises iron supplementation, parasite control and improved diet, including the consumption of eggs. The programme's focus should be on women who prefer traditional medicine to Western medicine.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1079\/phn2005851","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2006,6,22]],"date-time":"2006-06-22T19:40:09Z","timestamp":1151005209000},"page":"443-448","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":59,"title":["Risk factors for iron-deficiency anaemia among pregnant women living in rural Vietnam"],"prefix":"10.1017","volume":"9","author":[{"given":"Ritsuko","family":"Aikawa","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ngyen C","family":"Khan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Satoshi","family":"Sasaki","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Colin W","family":"Binns","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"56","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2007,1,2]]},"reference":[{"key":"S1368980006000772_ref018","volume-title":"Vietnam Growing Healthy: A Review of Vietnam's Health Sector","year":"2001"},{"key":"S1368980006000772_ref020","volume-title":"Iron Deficient Anemia, Recommendation Guidelines for the Prevention, Detection and Management among US Children and Women of Childbearing Age","author":"Earl","year":"1993"},{"key":"S1368980006000772_ref019","volume-title":"National Nutrition Strategy 2001\u20132010","author":"Hoang","year":"2001"},{"key":"S1368980006000772_ref017","volume-title":"Report on Vietnam National Anemia Survey, 2000","author":"Khoi","year":"2001"},{"key":"S1368980006000772_ref015","first-page":"627","article-title":"Primary health screening by haemoglobinometry in a tropical community","volume":"67","author":"Johns","year":"1989","journal-title":"Bulletin the World Health Organization"},{"key":"S1368980006000772_ref002","volume-title":"Iron Deficiency Anae-mia: Assessment, Prevention and Control.
