3.2 Iron: Nutritional Deficiency and Excess.

World review of nutrition and dietetics·2022

International nutritional research is vital for developing effective multiple-micronutrient supplementation programs. Applied research ensures program success, safety, and ethical conduct, benefiting developing countries and training future scientists.

Area of Science:

  • Nutritional Science
  • Public Health Research
  • International Development

Background:

  • Growing calls for a moratorium on international nutritional research in favor of intervention programs.
  • The International Workshop on Multi-Micronutrient Deficiency Control highlighted the synergy between research and program development.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To underscore the critical role of applied research in the success of international nutritional intervention programs.
  • To identify key research areas essential for effective multi-micronutrient supplementation.

Main Methods:

  • Review of topics discussed at the International Workshop on Multi-Micronutrient Deficiency Control.
  • Analysis of the multi-center International Research on Infant Supplementation (IRIS) I studies.

  • Emphasis on fundamental research principles: design, quality assurance, reliability, and ethical conduct.

    • Main Results:

    • Confirmed the inseparable link between program development and supporting applied research agendas.
    • Identified crucial research domains: biologic availability, safety, efficacy, communication, behavior, effectiveness, cost-effectiveness, and technology.
    • Highlighted the increased relevance of safety surveillance for adverse effects, as seen in IRIS I studies.

    Conclusions:

    • Applied research is indispensable for successful multi-micronutrient supplementation programs.
    • Adherence to high ethical standards and research quality is paramount in human studies.
    • Multi-micronutrient supplementation in developing countries offers a valuable training ground for future researchers.
