The prevalence was highest among children under five years, 39.7%, with the most contributing cause being dietary iron deficiency (ID). Reticulocyte hemoglobin equivalent (Ret-He) assesses the amount of hemoglobin in reticulocytes. Ret-He is an easy, inexpensive, and applicable diagnostic parameter of iron deficiency. This study aims to determine the role of Ret-He as a diagnostic parameter of ID and IDA in infants 1-4 months old.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Material and methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>The study was conducted prospectively at 10 Community Health Centers in Banjarbaru, South Kalimantan, from August 2020 to August 2021.
