铁（Fe）缺乏是儿童最常见的营养问题，铅（Pb）中毒是世界各地儿童最常见的环境健康威胁。本研究的目的是确定巴基斯坦卡拉奇民用医院儿科病房1至5岁儿童的血铅（BPb）水平和缺铁性贫血患病率。共有340名男女儿童参加了这项研究，筛查贫血。其中贫血215例，非贫血125例。贫血组根据血红蛋白（Hb）%进一步分为两组，轻度（Hb 10 g/dL）。铅水平10微克/分升。严重贫血儿童（53%）的BPb浓度在100-200 μ g/L范围内，而47%的浓度>200 μ g/L。BPb水平与Hb %（r= -0.514，r = -0.685）和Fe含量（r=-0.522，r =-0.762，p
Iron (Fe) deficiency is the most common nutritional problem among children and lead (Pb) toxicity is the most common environmental health threat to children all over the world. The objective of this study was to determine blood lead (BPb) levels and prevalence of Fe deficient anemia among 1 to 5 year old children attending day care clinic in pediatric ward of civil hospital Karachi, Pakistan. A total of 340 children of both genders participating in this study, were screened for anemia. Among them 215 were anemic and 125 non-anemic. The anemic group was further divided in two groups on the basis of % hemoglobin (Hb), mild (Hb 10 g/dL. The Pb levels 10 mu g/dL. The BPb concentration in severe anemic children (53%) was found in the range of 100-200 mu g/L, whereas 47% had >200 mu g/L. The significant negative correlations of BPb level with % Hb (r= -0.514 and r= -0.685) and Fe contents (r= -0.522, r= -0.762, p
