Abstract

Iron deficiency is one of the most prevalent nutritional deficiency disorders worldwide, with teenage girls and women of childbearing age, especially pregnant and postpartum mothers, being most affected. Although supplements may be required in some instances, simple dietary and lifestyle changes may also help individuals to establish a healthy iron status. This article presents useful information that nurses and midwives can provide to women during particular life phases such as pregnancy, adolescence and old age to improve their iron status.
