(World population : 7.3 billion, 7.3 /4 = 1.8 billion)
Iron deficiency anemia affects nearly 1 billion.
One billion = one thousand million = 1 × 109 = 1,000,000,000

Anemia increases costs of medical care.
Lowers a person's productivity through a decreased ability to work.
Silent in nature – symptoms go unrecognized.
Preventable.

deficiency
Deficient

Symptoms
Change in lab values in iron deficiency anemia
Change Parameter
↓ ferritin, hemoglobin, MCV
↑ TIBC, transferrin, RDW
WHO's Hemoglobin thresholds used to define
anemia
Age or gender group Hb threshold (g/dl)
Women, non-pregnant 12.0
Men (>15yrs) 13.0
Diagnosis
Eat iron rich foods
Treatment
Oral Iron supplements –
1. Although the supplements work best on an empty
stomach, you may want to take them with food so that
they don't upset your stomach.
2. You shouldn't take iron supplements with milk, caffeine,
antacids, or calcium supplements. These can decrease the
amount of iron that is absorbed.
3. Try to take your iron supplement with vitamin C (for
example, a glass of orange juice) to increase absorption.
Oral iron supplements can cause the following side effects:
1. dark stools
2. upset stomach
3. constipation (you may need to take a stool softener)
4. heartburn
This is a chronic
therapy which may
take 3–6 months.
Treatment
