In children in particular, its deficiency has been associated with an adverse effect on behavior and psychomotor and cognitive development. - Iron deficiency is the most common nutritional deficiency and is responsible for the most common form of anemia, iron deficiency anemia.
It mainly affects women of childbearing age due to increased blood loss during menstruation, but also children who have increased needs due to growth.

In a study involving about 3,000 children, 17% of children aged 6 months to 16 years had iron deficiency with or without anemia, while in obese children and children under 2 years of age the percentage was 30% and 50% respectively. - Iron deficiency is treated with oral iron supplements.
