Anemia was not associated with iron deficiency but rather with vitamin B\u201012 deficiency. Infestation with <jats:italic>Ascaris<\/jats:italic> was highly prevalent (67%) and associated with both folate and vitamin B\u201012 deficiency. Anemia and micronutrient deficiencies all varied significantly with season. <jats:italic>Conclusions.<\/jats:italic> The high prevalences of zinc and vitamin B\u201012 deficiencies in early pregnancy are a concern, as it could lead to adverse pregnancy outcomes and increased health risks for both mother and child. The prevalence of iron deficiency was low, but as this was during early pregnancy, the women might develop iron deficiency and consequently iron deficiency anemia as the pregnancy progresses.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1600-0412.2010.01014.x","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2010,10,16]],"date-time":"2010-10-16T06:10:52Z","timestamp":1287209452000},"page":"47-56","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":62,"title":["Prevalence of anemia and micronutrient deficiencies in early pregnancy in rural Bangladesh, the MINIMat trial"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"90","author":[{"given":"EMMA","family":"LINDSTR\u00d6M","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"MOHAMMAD B.","family":"HOSSAIN","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"BO","family":"L\u00d6NNERDAL","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"RUBHANA","family":"RAQIB","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"SHAMS","family":"EL ARIFEEN","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"EVA\u2010CHARLOTTE","family":"EKSTR\u00d6M","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2010,11,26]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_6_2_2","volume-title":"WHO global database on anemia","author":"De Benoist B","year":"2008"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ejogrb.2005.02.015"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1301\/00296640260130731"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/jn\/138.12.2529"},{"issue":"1","key":"e_1_2_6_6_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"S60","DOI":"10.1177\/15648265090301S105","article-title":"Effects of maternal zinc supplementation on pregnancy and lactation outcomes","volume":"30","author":"Hess SY","year":"2009","journal-title":"Food Nutr Bull."},{"key":"e_1_2_6_7_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/15648265080292S114"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_8_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3945\/jn.109.116327"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_9_2","volume-title":"A Guide for Programme Managers (Document WHO","author":"WHO.
