Table 3 Dietary composition in children aged 6 to 59 months in the Puno region according to iron status, stratified in three categories of total body iron (TBI): TBI less than 0 mg/kg; between 0–5 mg/kg and more than 5 mg/kg

From: Evaluation of dietary composition between hemoglobin categories, total body iron content and adherence to multi-micronutrients in preschooler residents of the highlands of Puno, Peru
