Brief Summary: This was a double-blind community-based trial placebo controlled During 16 weeks children in the intervention group GI n180 received iron fortified rice and children in the control group GC n174 received rice with placebo Anemia was considered present when hemoglobin 110gdL Comparison of mean variation on hemoglobin between groups was accessed by using Students t-test Hemoglobin concentration improved in both groups with mean increase of 042 gdL in GI 1128123 gdL to 1175116 gdL p 0001 and 049 gdL in GC 1106113 gdL to 1151116 gdL p 0001 Anemia decreased p 001 in both groups 378 to 233 in GI and 454 to 333 in GC with no differences between them Hemoglobin increase was significantly higher in children who received total amount of iron 5376 mg from fortified rice compared to those who received less than this cut-off value 094 gdl vs 039 gdl p003 The results suggest that this type of intervention can be useful in anemia control if fortified food intake is adequate
