چکیده
4. Blood samples were assessed for haemoglobin and haematocrit values. 5 . Calorie, protein and folic acid intakes were low for all age groups; iron and ascorbic acid intakes were adequate. 6. There was no incidence of severe anaemia. Only 10 yo of all the eighty-eight children had a haemoglobin concentration below acceptable levels and only about 8 % of all the eighty-eight children had haematocrit values below acceptable level. acid and calorie intakes were calculated from food composition tables.
