Plantations are generally bypassed by the government's primary health-care system. A nine-month intervention with iron (60 mg of elemental iron) and vitamin A supplementation and iodized salt was performed on the Balanoor Plantations in India. of the women tea pickers, 99% (n = 334) received the supplements and bought the iodized salt from the plantation ration shop. Their mean hemoglobin level rose significantly from 11.0 to 11.9 g\/dl. the women pickers gave the supplements to their families as well as themselves. the results were the same whether iron was given once or twice a week. the mean hemoglobin level of the women pickers rose significantly from 11.1 to 12.0 g\/dl with the twice-weekly dose and from 10.9 to 11.8 g\/dl with the weekly dose. the prevalence of clinical signs of vitamin A deficiency in the entire plantation population (about 2,500) was reduced significantly (from 19% to 4%), as was iodine deficiency (from 17% to 7%). Common health problems decreased from 88% to 54%. the number of patients referred to larger hospitals decreased significantly from 116 to 86. Absenteeism was not affected.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/156482650202300203","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,11,25]],"date-time":"2015-11-25T16:12:03Z","timestamp":1448467923000},"page":"143-152","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Empowering a Tea-Plantation Community to Improve Its Micronutrient Health"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"23","author":[{"given":"Tara","family":"Gopaldas","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Tara Consultancy Services in Bangalore, India."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sunder","family":"Gujral","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Tara Consultancy Services in Bangalore, India."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2002,1,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-156482650202300203","unstructured":"A restive brew.
