Abstract

【Objective】 To explore the effects of iron deficiency anemia(IDA) on mental devenlopment of infants. 【Methods】 42 infants coincided with IDA diagnosis were selected as test group, and normal 42 infants with equal background were selected as control group. The Gesell Development Diagosis Schedule was used to evaluate children's mental development. 【Results】 Both adaptive behavior and fine motor DQ were lower in test group than in control group, the difference was significant(P<0.05). There were positively correlations between the hemoglobin level and adaptive behavior or fine motor, the correlation coefficients were respectively as 0.56 and 0.38(P<0.05). Hemoglobin level was the independent risk factor, which could affect chidren's adaptive behavior and fine motor development,the partial regression coefficient were 0.385 and 0.261(P<0.05)respectively. 【Conclusion】 IDA can affect adaptive behavior and fine motor development of infants.
