Data shows that over a third of young women in the U.S. have an iron deficiency. People with an iron deficiency often have no symptoms. Left untreated, however, the condition can progress to what is called iron-deficiency anemia.
Iron is an essential mineral the body uses to make hemoglobin, a protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen from lungs to the rest of the body.
Researchers based their finding on an analysis of nearly two decades of data on 3,490 young women from the long-running National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, which is considered nationally representative. Iron is an essential mineral the body uses to make hemoglobin, a protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen from lungs to the rest of the body. Iron also is needed to make the protein myoglobin, which helps muscles store the oxygen needed for energy. The amount of iron a person needs varies by age and sex, but recommended amounts for women are generally higher, especially for those who are pregnant or who experience heavy bleeding during menstruation.
