Abstract

The iron status and diet of Inuit infants living in northern Quebec who were part of a prospective cohort study was described. This study shows iron-deficiency anemia to be a problem in Inuit infants as young as 6 months old. Breastfed infants were better protected against iron deficiency than infants fed cow's milk or low-iron formula.
