At the initial survey in May 2002, 78 (33.3%) of 234 study
participants were iron deficient, and 95 (41%) of 234 were iron
replete, as determined on the basis of the definitions used. Seven
children (3%) had increased concentrations (10 mg/L) of CRP.
The remaining children (54 [23%] of 234) could not be classified
as either iron deficient or iron replete, because neither definition
was fully satisfied. At the subsequent survey in October 2002, 91
(38%) of 240 children were iron deficient, 104 (43%) were iron
replete, 7 (3%) had increased CRP concentration, and 38 (16%)
could not be classified. Of the 204 children for whom data on
iron status were complete at both surveys, 57 (28%) remained
iron replete at both time points, and 49 (24%) remained iron
deficient. Eight children (4%) who were iron replete at the time
of the first survey had become iron deficient at the second survey,
whereas 12 (6%) children who were iron deficient at the first
survey subsequently recovered and became iron replete. The remaining
children could not be classified.
