Nutrition and Bone Growth in Pediatrics
2011, Pediatric Clinics of North AmericaCitation Excerpt :Two recent reviews of the literature concluded that iron interventions had no significant effect on child growth, with similar results obtained across categories of age, duration of intervention, mode and dosage of intervention, and baseline anthropometric status.151,170 Some authors suggested that the effect of iron on growth was supported by the findings that zinc has a positive stimulatory effect on growth only when iron levels are adequate.171,172 However, others failed to show a beneficial effect of these supplements on growth, possibly because of concurrent deficiencies of other micronutrients.173
