Why is it important?
To prevent congenital anomalies by means of nutritional strategies.
Perspectives
It may open ideas for clinical research, like observational studies like: i) Cross-sectional studies to look for links between iron-intake and neonatal features (both clinical and biochemicals). ii) Follow-up studies to assess the diet (including iron intake), the iron metabolism (by serum and total blood analyses), and the offspring characteristics.
