Özet

Objective: The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of age, sex, and socio-economic status (SES) on concentrations of vitamin B12 (vit-B12), folate, iron, and ferritin through the pediatric age span, and to show the relationship of these nutrients with blood count parameters such as hemoglobin (Hb), hematocrit (Hct), mean corpuscular volume (MCV), and red cell distribution (RDW).
