Description

Micronutrient deficiencies are of greatest public health significance in Sri Lanka, and as such investigating an effective programme for the prevention is urgently required. Scientific objectives: To study possible interactions between micronutrients (iron and zinc) that may interfere with utilization by a double blind randomized control trial; To determine the bioavailability of iron and zinc using stable isotope methodology; To study iron and zinc status in patients diagnosed as having endemic goitre; To assess the selenium status among the preadolescents

Part of:
Co-ordinated research project on isotopic and complementary tools for the study of micronutrient status and interactions in developing country populations exposed to multiple nutritional deficiencies. Report on the first research co-ordination meeting
