Abstract

The article, “Relationship of the availability of micronutrient powder with iron status and hemoglobin among women and children in the Kakuma Refugee Camp, Kenya” by P. Ndemwa et al. published in the Special Section of the September 2011 regular issue did not include the following Table 2:

TABLE 2.

Hemoglobin and soluble transferrin receptor in women and children at three visits during the study ^a

Variable	Baseline	Midline	Endline	P value
				Baseline to midline	Midline to endline	Baseline to endline
Women
n	458	317	283
Anemic (hemoglobin < 120 g/L)-% b	42.6	41.3	41.7	.72	.82	.92
Hemoglobin-g/L	121.4 ± 0.8	120.8 ± 0.9	120.6 ± 1.0	.57	.81	.42
Soluble transferrin receptor-nmol/L	24.1 ± 0.5	20.7 ± 0.7	20.8 ± 0.7	.0002	.83	.0006
Children c
n	410	320	299
Anemic (hemoglobin < 110 g/L)-% b	55.5	52.3	59.8	.36	.05	.26
Hemoglobin-g/L	105.7 ± 0.6	109.0 ± 1.6	105.5 ± 0.3	.05	.25	.95
Soluble transferrin receptor-nmol/L	36.1 ± 0.7	29.5 ± 1.9	28.4 ± 3.2	.001	.76	.02

a

Plus-minus values are means ± SE.

b

Pvalue for anemia prevalence is based upon chi-square test of prevalence at all three visits.

c

Least squares means regression was used to adjust for age in children, since increasing age is associated with a decrease in hemoglobin and an increase in soluble transferrin receptor.
