摘要：

The growth of 694 children from rural Bangladesh was studied. Children drinking water containing >1 mg iron/l (n=628) were significantly taller than those drinking <1 mg iron/l (n=66): their mean (SD) height for age Z score was -2.10 (1.34) compared with -2.45 (1.24), p<0.05. This suggests that iron deficiency may contribute to growth retardation in poor communities.
