Nearly 1 in 4 girls and young women have iron deficiency, study shows

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 09:16:28 GMT

Iron deficiency is a relatively common problem, but a new study suggests it may be particularly common for girls and young women in the United States.New research from the University of Michigan Medical School in Ann Arbor, published last week in the Journal of the American Medical Association, looked at the iron levels of about 3,500 females aged 12 to 21, who were part of the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey.The survey was carried out by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to monitor the health status of adults and children across the country through interviews and physical exams.Researchers discovered that nearly 40% of participants in that group were deficient in iron, according to the study.The problem is detected through a simple blood test, but it can be overlooked as doctors often test only for anemia, a group of conditions impacting red blood cells or their ability to carry oxygen throughout the body.Iron is a critical mineral that helps red blood...

It bore hallmarks of Israeli military tactics during the second Palestinian uprising in the early 2000s and came as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu faces growing pressure from his ultranationalist political allies for a tough response to recent attacks on Israeli settlers, including a shooting last month that killed four people.On Tuesday morning, rubble littered the streets of Jenin and there were reports of damage to shops. Columns of black smoke periodically punctuated the skyline over the camp in the northern West Bank city, long a Palestinian militan...
