Table 4.

Prevalence of iron deficiency (ID) based on different ferritin cut-off levels depending on CRP levels [27], before and after the 6-month daily consumption of different amounts of multi-nutrient fortified dairy-based drink.

		200 mL	400 mL	600 mL	p-Value *
ID prevalence	pre	20.0%	11.1%	6.1%	0.25
	post	0%	2.8%	6.1%	0.53

* The prevalence between study groups has been compared with Fisher’s exact test. Iron deficiency (ID): <12 µg/L serum ferritin when CRP ≤ 5 mg/L or <30 µg/L serum ferritin when CRP > 5 mg/L.
