Iron deficiency anemia among young children is a large health problem. However, there is

analyzed cross-sectional data from the HKI/GOI Nutrition and Health Surveillance System in
rural Java, Indonesia from Sept. 1999 to Feb. 2001 for hemoglobin (Hb) of 3-to 5-mo-old
breast-fed infants (n= 990) and related factors. The prevalence of Hb< 90 g/L was 13.4%,< …
