The project plans to evaluate the biweekly regime of iron in healthy and anemic children through prospective cohort and randomised clinical trials. The study will use innovative stable stable iron isotope technique to evaluate iron balance. The project will be done in collaboration with specialised labs at St John’s Research Institute, Bangalore; NCCS, Pune and CMC, Vellore. Part 1 of the project proposes to evaluate the iron balance associated with biweekly iron regime of oral iron supplementation (OIS) in a cohort of 320 preschool children including iron replete (IR) iron deficient (ID) and iron-deficient anemic (IDA) infants and toddlers using stable iron isotopes techniques. Part 2 project also plans to evaluate the efficacy and safety of two doses of biweekly OIS vs daily OIS in 510 preschool anemic children. Children with IDA labelled with stable isotope as mentioned above will form a subgroup within this study and will enable to study the iron balance associated with all iron regimes. We also plan to evaluate the effect of all iron interventions on gut microbiome using 16s rRNA techniques in a subgroup. The proposed study results can provide important policy information about effectiveness of biweekly OIS for prevention and treatment of anemia in infants and toddlers.
