This book envisages new estimates of the public health importance
of iron and zinc deficiency prevailing in Pakistani population, and
put glimpses on different diseases caused by these micronutrients
in children and particularly women. This book put more emphasizes
on strategies and solutions for combating these deficiencies in
Pakistani people. These micronutrients when taken individually or
in combination may prevent several deadly ailments. More work is
required to estimate the levels of these two minerals in masses in
Pakistan. Their individual role in disease prevention with
functional evidences through clinical trials is need of the day in
under developed areas. Such data in large population may be used
later on for developing supplementation strategies on national
level. Issues such as zinc supplementation alone, in combination
with iron or with other micronutrients should be better addressed.
Researchers are exploring effect of combined supplementation and
its effect on zinc status, but the data are not clear regarding
morbidity outcomes. Combined supplementation of iron and zinc may
provide an efficient way to combat deficiency symptoms of both
minerals.
