Hemoglobulin (Hb), hematocrit (Hct), mean corpuscular volume (MCV), reticulocytes, serum iron (sFe), serum ferritin (sFer), sTfr, and reticulocyte subpopulations were measured.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Results:\u2002<\/jats:bold>A total of 756 measurements were performed. After an initial decline, Hb rose from month 3 to 12 of life. SFe and sFer and immature reticulocyte count decreased from the second week to the third month and remained stable thereafter. STfr was lower up to 6\u2003wk and stable from month 3 to 12. Iron deficiency anemia (IDA) was found in 5.5% of infants. In 76 measurements sFer was &lt;12\u2003\u03bcg\/L, implying storage iron deficiency (SID). A negative correlation was observed between sTfr and other indices of iron status such as Hb, Hct, MCV, sFe, and sFer. Infants with sFer &lt;12\u2003\u03bcg\/L had lower sTfr than those with sFer &gt;12\u2003\u03bcg\/L. Reticulocyte production was positively associated with STfr, but this association was dependent on the chronological age of the infant.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Conclusion:\u2002<\/jats:bold>Iron depletion is common in formula\u2010fed preterm (32\u201336\u2003wk GA) infants between month 3 and 12 of life. STfr appears to be an indicator of iron status in preterm infants during the first year of
