Addressing iron deficiency in women’s health is crucial^4,5

Iron deficiency (ID)/iron deficiency anaemia (IDA) is a global health problem that is highly prevalent in women.^4,5

Globally, anaemia is estimated to affect 30% of reproductive-aged women and 37% of pregnant women, with ID causing ~50% of cases^4,6

The global prevalence of ID without anaemia is not known, but it is suggested to be at least double that of IDA⁷

ID/IDA often occurs in reproductive-aged women as a result of:^8,9

Excessive iron loss due to abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB), including heavy menstrual bleeding (HMB)

Increased iron demand during pregnancy

Inadequate dietary intake of iron (e.g. due to a vegan or vegetarian diet)

Timely identification and treatment is needed⁵
