Abstract

Iron deficiency anemia (IDA) is the most common micronutrient deficiency and the leading cause of anemia in children worldwide. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), anemia affects approximately 40% of children aged 6–59 months, with iron deficiency accounting for nearly half of all cases. IDA impairs physical growth, cognitive development, immune function, and school performance, making it a significant global public health challenge.
