Summary
Iron deficiency (ID) and iron deficiency anemia (IDA) are the most common iron disorders throughout the world.
ID and IDA, particularly caused by increased iron requirements during pregnancy; represent a high risk for preterm delivery, fetal growth retardation, low birth weight, and inferior neonatal health. These pregnancy complications are thought to occur because of an increased iron requirement, related to enhanced blood volume and development of the fetoplacental unit.
