Micronutrient-fortified rice improves haemoglobin, anaemia prevalence and cognitive performance among schoolchildren in Gujarat, India : a case-control study
Anaemia is a public health problem in India. A case-control, quasi-experimental study was conducted to evaluate the effect of a multiple micronutrient fortified rice intervention among school children (6-12 years) through the midday meal programme in Gujarat, India, over 8 months. The fortified rice provided approximately 10% Recommended Dietary Allowance of iron; 25-33% of vitamin A, thiamine, niacin and vitamin B6; and 100% of folic acid and vitamin B12. Outcomes of interest included haemoglobin concentration, anaemia prevalence, and cognitive performance. Cognitive performance was evaluated using J-PAL-validated Pratham reading and mathematics testing tools. 973 children completed the study (cases n = 484; controls n = 489). The intervention significantly increased mean haemoglobin by 0.4 g/dL (p = 0.001), reduced anaemia prevalence by 10% (p < 0.00001), and improved average cognitive scores by 11.3 points (p < 0.001). Rice fortification can help address anaemia in settings where rice is a staple food.
