ABSTRACT
Objective To understand the relationship between the infants′iron-deficiency anemia and the dependents′KAP (knowledge,attitude,practice)of iron nutrition,and to provide a theoretical support for the prevention and cure of the infants′iron-eficiency anemia.Methods A total of 960 infants,aging from 6 months to 36 months,were randomly chosen as samples at the child care clinics in Wuhan while they were doing their routine health check-up there.Their hemoglobin was examined.Their dependents were asked to fill in questionnaires about KAP of iron nutrition.Results The ratio of anemia in infants in Wuhan is 26.6%.The ra-tio difference of different age groups has statistical significance(P <0.05).The dependents′KAP of iron nutrition is in direct pro-portion to their educational level and family income.The ratio of anemia in infants is in inverse proportion to their dependents′edu-cational level and family income.The dependents′knowledge,attitude and practice of iron-intake were positively related.The aver-age score of guardian nutrition knowledge(K)was (11.96±3.77)points,the average score of attitude(A)was (7.09±2.80)points while the average score of feeding practice(P)was (18.05±3.60)points.Conclusion Much publicity should be given to the knowl-edge of iron nutrition and it should be conducted from various perspectives,in order to improve the cognitive level of the depend-ents′knowledge of iron nutrition and to lower the ratio of anemia in infants.
