Marsela Haruni
Abstract: Iron deficiency (ID) is a systematic condition that harms physical stability, work capacity, psychomotor development of children and decreases their immunity. Our study aimed at assessing the prevalence of iron deficiency (ID) and iron deficiency anemia (IDA) among 6-10 years school children from Tirana and its relation to demographic, socio-economic and lifestyle factors in order to design fair policies for control and prevention of anemia in children in our country. Paying attention to the iron deficiency anemia control will help these children be treated in time and not suffer from the long-term consequences of iron deficiency.
