Abstract: A reference text for nutrition researchers, clinical nutritionists, and other health care professionals provides 19 authoritative reviews by international experts concerning various aspects of the cause, symptoms, and treatment of vitamin A deficiency. Topics focusing on vitamin A deficiency include: global incidences; the physiologic and metabolic basis of the major symptoms of deficiency; nutrient-nutrient interactions; its pathogenesis and clinical aspects; its control by education and public health approaches; its control by diet and supplements; its control in various regions (India; Central America; the Philippines; Indonesia); its effect in pregnancy, lactation, and in the nursing infant; and programs for its prevention and treatment. Related topics include the effect of vitamin A status on the immune system and on cancer induction. The activities of major organizations involved in the eradication of vitamin A deficiency also are discussed.

Micronutrient malnutrition affects approximately 2 billion people worldwide. The adverse effects of micronutrient deficiencies are profound and include premature death, poor health, blindness, growth stunting, mental retardation, learning disabilities, and low work capacity. Preventing Micronutrient Deficiencies provides a conceptual framework based on past experience that will allow funders to tailor programs to existing regional/country capabilities and to incorporate within these programs the capacity to address multiple strategies (i.e., supplementation/fortification/food-based approaches/public health measures) and multiple micronutrient deficiencies. The book does not offer recommendations on how to alleviate specific micronutrient deficienciesâ€"such recommendations are already available through the publications of diverse organizations, including the U.S. Agency for International Development, the Micronutrient Initiative, World Bank, United Nations Childrens' Fund, and the World Health Organization. Instead, this volume examines key elements in the design and implementation of micronutrient interventions, including such issues as: The importance of iron, vitamin A, and iodine to health. Populations at risk for micronutrient deficiency. Options for successful interventions and their cost. The feasibility of involving societal sectors in the planning and implementation of interventions. Characteristics of successful interventions. The book also contains three in-depth background papers that address the prevention of deficiencies of iron, vitamin A, and iodine.

Abstract: International nutrition survey data for selected populations with high vitamin A deficiency where parameters for iron metabolism and anemia have been evaluated were analyzed; weanling and young adult rats were used as experimental models to evaluate hematopoiesis and iron metabolism. Vitamin A deficiency and iron deficiency anemia are major problems world wide; children and pregnant women are affected most often. The literature review focused on vitamin A deficiency anemia. Study results indicate that an anemia similar to that caused by iron deficiency may be caused by vitamin A deficiency. This deficiency must be mild and chronic for identification. Iron absorption does not appear to play a significant part in this type of anemia. Two factors to be considered in severe, acute vitamin A deficiency are the need for evaluation of hemoglobin synthesis and the involvement of iron in the enzyme functions.

This volume is the newest release in the authoritative series issued by the National Academy of Sciences on dietary reference intakes (DRIs). This series provides recommended intakes, such as Recommended Dietary Allowances (RDAs), for use in planning nutritionally adequate diets for individuals based on age and gender. In addition, a new reference intake, the Tolerable Upper Intake Level (UL), has also been established to assist an individual in knowing how much is "too much" of a nutrient. Based on the Institute of Medicine's review of the scientific literature regarding dietary micronutrients, recommendations have been formulated regarding vitamins A and K, iron, iodine, chromium, copper, manganese, molybdenum, zinc, and other potentially beneficial trace elements such as boron to determine the roles, if any, they play in health. The book also: Reviews selected components of food that may influence the bioavailability of these compounds. Develops estimates of dietary intake of these compounds that are compatible with good nutrition throughout the life span and that may decrease risk of chronic disease where data indicate they play a role. Determines Tolerable Upper Intake levels for each nutrient reviewed where adequate scientific data are available in specific population subgroups. Identifies research needed to improve knowledge of the role of these micronutrients in human health. This book will be important to professionals in nutrition research and education.

Abstract: An authoritative text for clinical nutritionists, developed from a 1986 workshop sponsored by the US National Research Council's Subcommittee on Vitamin A Deficiency Prevention and Control, provides guidance on the planning of several longitudinal field trials proposed by the US Agency for International Development's Office of Nutrition to assess the impact of vitamin A supplementation on child mortality. The text sections cover: the rationale for field trials; the design, results, and conclusions of a field trial conducted in Indonesia; a critique and description of field study designs, methods, and measurement techniques proposed for studies in Bangladesh, the Sudan, India and the Gambia, and to assess mortality and morbidity in the Philippines; and a detailed discussion of methodological considerations for vitamin A supplementation field studies (covering study design and its implementation, measurement issues, and ethical issues). A summary of the Subcommittee's findings with respect to expected outcomes and study design is appended.
