Abstract
The iron deficiency anemia is particularly common in reproductive age women. Thus, it is important to explore facts of knowledge about importance of iron in nutrition in female population. The study included 176 respondents and collection of data was done using a questionnaire and statistically analyzed. Women from rural area, women in younger age groups and pregnant women showed a higher level of knowledge about importance of iron in nutrition. The most respondents were in the normal weight range, but the significant prevalence of inadequate iron intakes was determined (daily average intake for iron was 7.62mg/day) and there was significant difference between groups. Also, respondents had no knowledge concerning factors affecting iron supply from their diet, while it seems justified to focus our attention on these problems within the framework of educational activities.
