What should we do about zinc deficiency?
Zinc intake is commonly inadequate, especially in developing countries with high mortality. The World Health Organization recently highlighted zinc deficiency as one of the 10 major factors contributing to burden of disease in developing countries. On page 347, Shrimpton and colleagues examine existing reviews and randomised controlled trials and consider these in the light of the international policy recommendations for supplementation and fortification of micronutrients. They also report on the implementation of these programmes.
