IRON DEFICIENCY ANEMIA IN RELATION TO PINCH STRENGTH AND HAND DEXTERITY IN PRESCHOOL CHILDREN (IDA)
Anemia is a major public health problem among preschool-aged children. The evidence demonstrated that early childhood anemia is a strong predictor of adulthood anemia (Gessner, 2009). According to Egypt's Demographic and Health Survey (EDHS), prevalence rates of anemia in children aged 6-59 months ranged from 23% to 45% (EDHS, 2014). It is assumed that 50% of the cases of anemia are due to ID (Aref and Khalifa, 2019). The major health problem in Egypt is ID that affects 41.2% of children aged <5years (El-Asheer et al., 2021). The total prevalence of IDA in the Nile Delta region was 17.19% of the children (El-Shanshory et al., 2021). Iron is a trace element that is essential to form hemoglobin in red blood cells and to carry oxygen to peripheral tissues. In addition, iron plays essential functions in the mitochondria, which are crucial for regulating energy metabolism in the skeletal muscle (Kang and Li, 2012). And low iron levels limit oxygen bioavailability in the peripheral tissues, including skeletal muscle (Jolly et al., 2001).Yu-mi et al., (2020) found a low handgrip strength in anemic patients. Also, ID can impaired brain energy metabolism, along with hypo-myelination and impaired dopamine signaling, is consistently described as one of the mechanistic causes of the neurodevelopmental deficits associated with early-life ID (Thomas et al., 2020).
HYPOTHESES:
There is a relation between IDA and pinch strength and hand dexterity in preschool children.
RESEARCH QUESTION:
Is there a relation between IDA and pinch strength and hand dexterity in preschool children?
The purpose of the current study is to find the relation between IDA and:
- Pinch grip strength (tripod and tip to tip grip strength).
- Hand dexterity in preschool children.

Detailed Description
i. Instrumentations for selection:
- Fully automated blood cell counter. A complete blood count (CBC) is one of the most commonly and routinely done laboratory tests It will be obtained through the use of fully automated blood cell counter (sysmex-Xs 800i).
- Beckman coulter-AU 480- blood chemistry auto-analyzer. It is the ideal primary chemistry analyzer for measurement of the amount of serum iron in the blood. ii. Instrumentations for assessment:

- Baseline mechanical Pinch gauge (0-60 lb.) used to measure tripod pinch strength of dominance and non-dominance hands for all participated children.
- Bruininks-Oseretsky Test of Motor Proficiency, Second Edition (BOT-2) The Bruininks-Oseretsky Test of Motor Proficiency is a standardized, norm-referenced measure
Inclusion Criteria:
- Their age will be ranged from 5-6 years
The fifty anemic children will have microcytic hypochromic anemia: their Hb < 11.5 g/L (Hb from 11.0-11.4 is mild anemia and in moderate anemia Hb is from 8.0-10.9 (WHO, 2011). The serum iron is below 60 mcg/dL (Elngar et al., 2021). The Ferritin level
<12 µg/L for children in absence of infection (WHO, 2017). ( Appendix I).
- They will be right handed.
- They had no history of previous hand injuries, surgeries or other functional hand limitation.
- All children will able to follow instructions and understand commands given during test procedures.
- Their body mass index (BMI) will be ranged from 15.2 to 15.5 kg/m2 (WHO, 2007). (Appendix II).
B. Exclusion Criteria:
Children will exclude if they have:
- Congenital or acquired deformity in the joints of upper limb.
- Unhealed fracture in upper limb bones.
- Systematic disease that cause anemia such as renal or hepatic failure or a history of bone disease.
- Blood transfusion within 3 months before measuring the hematological indices.
- Documented trauma in the previous 12 months in the muscle fibers, or those taking medication that affecting strength.
- Children begin with musculoskeletal problems or neurological disorders that affected their upper extremities

Study Population
eighty seven children from both sexes ranging in age from 5-6 years (thirty sex non-anemic children and fifty children with IDA (subdivided in to two equal groups. Group (I) 25 children with mild IDA and group (II) 25 children with moderate IDA). 2. They will be selected from the Outpatient Clinic of Pediatrics, Zagazig University Hospitals.
3. The fifty anemic children will have microcytic hypochromic anemia:. for children aged 5-11 years old, Hb < 11.5 g/L (Hb from 11.0-11.4 is mild anemia and in moderate anemia Hb is from 8.0-10.9 (WHO, 2011). The serum iron is below 60 mcg/dL (Elngar et al., 2021). The Ferritin level <12 µg/L for children in absence of infection (WHO, 2017).
