Iron deficiency is one of the most prevalent nutritional disorders in the world today. It accounts for approximately 50% of anemic cases which results in impaired reproductive performance, work capacity and cognitive development. The prevalence of iron deficiency anemia (IDA) is increasing particularly in women of reproductive age. Anemia is classified based on different criteria such as nutritional status, genetic factor and morphology of red blood cells (RBC). The most common cause of anemia in the world is iron deficiency which leads to decreased production of RBC, increased destruction of RBC, increased iron requirements, inadequate iron absorption, blood loss which may be due to strenuous exercise, malaria, hookworm infestation and other chronic diseases. The diagnosis of anemia needs sufficient clinical attention, to ascertain the etiology, type, and severity which forms the basis for treatment of anemia reflected by low hemoglobin and storage forms of iron. Dietary iron absorption occurs mostly in the duodenum and upper jejunum of the small intestine. Iron in the ferrous state is easily absorbed than in ferric iron state. To address IDA, public health measures at both national and international levels have been developed which concentrates on implementation of anemia prevention programs and policy measures.
