GSTM1 and anemia: The finding of a significant relationship between feeding practices and Hb is similar to findings in an RCT of Honduran infants [41] as well as cohort studies of Mexican [19] and Nepali infants [23]; these populations had a high prevalence of breastfeeding (but lower EBF), similar to our population, although the prevalence of anemia was much lower in the Mexican infants [19] as compared to the Honduran infants [41], Nepali infants [23] or to our own population.
