Background
Aims
The aim of this sudy is to investigate the relationship between iron status and zinc levels in infancy and type of milk consumed.
Methods
All infants were exclusively breatfed in the first 6 months life. All mothers were recommended to start complementary foods at 6 months of age. Infants, without a nutritional problem, weighing over 10th percentile and continue to be breastfed in addition to adequate complemantary foods were enrolled in the control group (n: 45), babies weighting over 3rd percentile, did not get adequate complementary foods and an iron fortifed formula was added to the diet were included in the study group (n: 39). All infants were followed-up monthly for 3 months. Hemoglobin, ferritin, iron, iron binding capacity and zinc levels were assessed in relation to the type of milk.
Results
Mean hemoglobin values were similiar in the two groups at the end of 3 months of follow-up. Mean ferritin values increased from 53,2±41,8 mg/L to 64,7±89,7 mg/L in the study group, while decreased from 42,8±34,0 mg/L to 34,6±29,3 mg/L in the control group. In the study group, significantly higher levels of ferritin were measured in the last assessment, compared to the control group. There was no difference in the zinc levels between breastfed and formulafed babies.
Summary
An increase in the iron stores of iron fortifed formula fed infants was observed during the follow-up period

Background
Malnutrition, iron deficiency anemia, zinc deficiency and associated conditions are among the significant health problems of infancy especially in developing countries. The influence of nutrition types on iron deficiency has not been adequately studied.
