“…The resulting equation was: Y ¼ 49.42-1.52X, where Y is the estimated prevalence of VA deficiency (serum retinol o0.70 mmol/l) per 100 and X is the age in y. Given prevalences of 58.4, 39.4 and 35.6% at average ages of 2.4, 2.5 and 4.5 y among preschoolers (Natadisastra et al, 1988;Kjolhede et al, 1995;Muhilal, 1995), and 10.4-17.0% among pregnant and lactating women of ages 15-40 y (Stoltzfus et al, 1992(Stoltzfus et al, , 1993Suharno et al, 1993;Muhilal, 1995;Tanumihardjo et al, 1996), we estimated a prevalence among 10-yold children of 34.2%, which was applied to the combinedsex population of 5-to 15-y-old children in Indonesia.…”

“…Studies conducted among pregnant women suggest that vitamin A supplementation alone during pregnancy can increase hemoglobin concentrations (Suharno et al, 1993). In West Java, Indonesia, 251 anemic pregnant women were randomly allocated to receive iron, 60 mg=day, vitamin A, 2.4 mg RE=day, iron, 60 mg=day plus vitamin A, 2.4 mg RE=day, or placebo for 8 weeks.…”

“…In our study, the iron-depleted women had a higher risk of anemia (Hb < 90 g=l) than iron-replete women. Iron supplementation in pregnancy has been shown to have a beneficial effect on anemia (Milman et al, 1999;Panth et al, 1990;Suharno et al, 1993), which justifies antenatal routine iron supplementation in areas with high prevalence of iron deficiency (Carroli et al, 2001). Folate.…”

“…The increased risk of anemia (Hb < 90 g=l) for women with low s-vitamin A was not statistically significant, but does not contradict the findings of the study in Nepal (Bondevik et al, 2000), where the risk estimate was higher. Also, a randomized controlled trial among anemic pregnant women in Indonesia showed that vitamin A supplementation increased the Hb, and 35% became non-anemic without any iron supplementation (Suharno et al, 1993).…”
