Increased Iron Status during a Feeding Trial of Iron-Biofortified Beans Increases Physical Work Efficiency in Rwandan Women

Abstract

Iron-biofortified staple foods can improve iron status and resolve iron deficiency. However, whether improved iron status from iron biofortification can improve physical performance remains unclear. This study aimed to examine whether changes in iron status from an iron-biofortified bean intervention affect work efficiency. This article is an output of the HarvestPlus programme
