Abstract in brief

  • Iron deficiency is the most common micronutrient deficiency worldwide, especially affecting pregnant women and young children, leading to negative health outcomes like poor pregnancy results and impaired immune and brain development in children.
  • Iron supplementation programs have been effective in reducing these health issues, but supplementing individuals who are already iron-sufficient might not be necessary and could pose health risks.
  • The review discusses how understanding iron's physiological role helps determine when the benefits of supplementation outweigh the risks, particularly in populations that are iron-deficient, iron-sufficient, or iron-overloaded, including pregnant women and children.]
