To evaluate the effect of cereal supplementation on children's iron nutritional status of Korean institutionalized was designed. Dietary survey was carried out methods of food weighting in the breakfast or/and dinner, and record interview in lunch (n=74). A nutritional intervention study was carried out through supplementing cereal for 4 weeks in 24 children of 1 institution from 4 to 12 years. The children received 3.6mg elemental Fe(as 100g cereal) per day. Blood samples were drawn before and after supplementation. Nutrients which children's intake was less than two-thirds of Korean RDA were Vit A, Vit B1, Vit B2, Ca and Fe. The mean daily intakes of iron were 5.1mg for male and 4.9mg for female and 52.3% for male and 45.4% for female of Korean RDA. The proportions of children with iron depletion assessed by TIBC(>360mg/dl) and serum ferritin(<20ng/ml) were 56.6% and 58.7%, respectively. The proportions of children with the iron deficient erythropoiesis assessed by serum iron(<70ml/dl), Hb(<12g/dl), and Hct(<36%) were 76.0%, 58.7%, and 64.0%, respectively. After cereal supplementation, in anemic children, levels of Hct(p<0.001), serum iron(p<0.001) and transferrin saturation(p<0.001) were significantly increased. The effect of cereal supplementation in children with iron deficient erythropoeisis was more effective to improve the iron nutritional status than children with iron depletion. It was concluded that cereal supplementation program in anemic children was also effective to improve iron nutritional status.

본 연구는 여자 축구선수 25명을 대상으로 혈중 지질성분과 철분지표를 조사 .분석하고, 훈련기 동안의 철분보충이 혈청 지질과 지단백 콜레스테롤에 미치는 영향을 살펴보았다. 여자축구선수들의 평균연령은 23.3±2.5세였고, 평균 신장과 체중은 각각 164.4±5.7cm과 57.4±4.6kg이었고, 체지방율은 23.9±3.0%였다. 혈액 철분지표 분석결과 평균 적혈구 용적, 헤모글로빈, 총철결합력은 정상범위 내에 있었으나 낮은
