Abstract:
Objective To investigate the distribution and variation trend of whole-blood Ca,Cu,Zn,Fe and Mg concentrations of children in fengxian district,Shanghai,and provide a reference for prevention of elements deficiency in children.Methods 2 219 children in outpatient department of pediatrics were enrolled in the study,who reccieved the tests for five kinds of elements(Ca, Mg,Fe,Cu,Zn)in whole blood by using atomic absorption spectrometer.The children were divided into 5 age groups:infancy group (1-<12 months old),toddler age group(1 -<3 years old),preschool age group(3 -<7 years old),school age group(7 -<12 years old)and adolescence group(12-18 years old).The distributions and variation trend of the 5 kinds of elements were analyzed among different age and gender groups.Results The deficiencies of Ca,Fe and Zn were common in all the age groups,the total defi-ciency rates of Ca,Fe and Zn were 19.51%,22.08% and 25.82% respectively.there was no significant difference between boys and girls(P >0.05).Differences among different age groups were statistically significant(P <0.05).The Average concentrations of Zn displayed increasing tendency of different degrees in different groups of children,other elements displayed no obvious variation trend.Conclusion Children′s Zn,Fe and Ca deficiencies in Fengxian District,Shanghai are in different degrees,regular determina-tion of calcium and trace elements should be performed and take supplementary measures as soon as possible.
