Animal experiments have confirmed that rapid growth in the critical period of brain, iron deficiency can affect metabolism, neurotransmitter transmission, myelination, and changes in gene and striatum spatial network structure, then the development of brain function have long-term and irreversible effects [2]. nearly 40 years, serum iron levels and for children, the relationship between intelligence a lot of problems, but there is no clear evidence of a causal relationship between the two. Apart from a few number of study, research evidence shows that the majority of people, blood iron level is too low, especially early in the life and development of iron deficiency on children’s cognitive, behavioral, social and emotional development may adversely affect the function, and iron deficiency caused by the behavior of children , abnormal mental development and can not be reversed short-term measures to iron [3 ~ 10]. of children under 5 years of age prevalence of anemia was 18.8% in urban and rural areas were 12.7% and 20.8% [11].
