Nutritional status of young children with inherited blood disorders in western Kenya. [PDF]
, 2014 To determine the association between a range of inherited blood disorders and indicators of poor nutrition, we analyzed data from a population-based, cross-sectional survey of 882 children 6–35 months of age in western Kenya.
