  Certain populations are at sufficiently high risk for iron deficiency to warrant consideration for prophylactic iron therapy. These include pregnant women, women with menorrhagia, […] consumers of a strict vegetarian diet, infants, […] adolescent girls, and regular blood donors. […] Pregnant women have been given supplemental iron since World War II, often in the form of all-purpose capsules containing vitamins, calcium, and iron. If the patient is anemic (hemoglobin 11 g/dL), administer the iron at a different time of day than calcium because calcium inhibits iron absorption. […] The practice of routinely administering iron to pregnant females in affluent societies has been challenged. Nevertheless, providing prophylactic iron therapy during the last half of pregnancy continues to be advisable, except in settings where careful follow-up for anemia and methods for measurement of serum iron and ferritin are readily available.

  You can reduce your risk of iron deficiency anemia by choosing iron-rich foods. […] Foods rich in iron include: Red meat, pork and poultry, Seafood, Beans, Dark green leafy vegetables, such as spinach, Dried fruit, such as raisins and apricots, Iron-fortified cereals, breads and pastas, Peas. […] You can enhance your body’s absorption of iron by drinking citrus juice or eating other foods rich in vitamin C at the same time that you eat high-iron foods. […] To prevent iron deficiency anemia in infants, feed your baby breast milk or iron-fortified formula for the first year. Cow’s milk isn’t a good source of iron for babies and isn’t recommended for infants under 1 year. After age 6 months, start feeding your baby iron-fortified cereals or pureed meats at least twice a day to boost iron intake. After one year, be sure children don’t drink more than 20 ounces (591 milliliters) of milk a day. Too much milk often takes the place of other foods, including those that are rich in iron.

  Iron supplementation of the diet of infants is advocated. Premature infants require more iron supplementation than term infants. Infants weaned early and fed bovine milk require more iron because the higher concentration of calcium in cow milk inhibits absorption of iron. Usually, infants receive iron from fortified cereal. Additional iron is present in commercial milk formulas. […] Iron supplementation in populations living on a largely vegetarian diet is advisable because of the lower bioavailability of inorganic iron than heme iron. […] The addition of iron to basic foodstuffs in affluent nations where meat is an important part of the diet is of questionable value and may be harmful. The gene for familial hemochromatosis (HFe gene) is prevalent (8% of the US white population). Excess body iron is postulated to be important in the etiology of coronary artery disease, strokes, certain carcinomas, and neurodegenerative disorders because iron is important in free radical formation.

• #1 Review of intervention products for use in the prevention and control of anemia – PubMed

  https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37688369/

  Anemia remains a major public health problem, especially in low- and middle-income countries. The World Health Organization recommends several interventions to prevent and manage anemia in vulnerable population groups, including young children, menstruating adolescent girls and women, and pregnant and postpartum women. Daily iron supplementation reduces the risk of anemia in infants, children, and pregnant women, and intermittent iron supplementation reduces anemia risk in menstruating girls and women. Micronutrient powders reduce the risk of anemia in children. Fortifying wheat flour with iron reduces the risk of anemia in the overall population, whereas the effect of fortifying maize flour and rice is still uncertain. […] Promising interventions to prevent anemia include vitamin A supplementation, multiple micronutrient supplementation for pregnant women, small-quantity lipid-based supplements, and fortification of salt with iodine and iron. Future research could address the efficacy and safety of different iron supplementation formulations, identify the most bioavailable form of iron for fortification, examine adherence to supplementation regimens and fortification standards, and investigate the effectiveness of integrating micronutrient, helminth, and malaria control programs.

  The first preventive measure against infant iron deficiency is assuring adequate body iron at birth by avoiding gestational iron deficiency and other conditions leading to low birthweight and premature delivery. […] The importance of prepregnancy iron nutrition in preventing gestational iron deficiency has not been sufficiently recognized. […] A second critical measure for improving the iron stores of the newborn is delayed ligation of the umbilical cord. […] In the first 46 months, breast-feeding is an important contribution to the maintenance of better iron nutrition in infants. […] Infants beyond about 6 months of age need an additional source of iron beyond that provided by breast milk. […] The strategy of iron supplementation for this age group is often neglected by those who are unaware that the vast majority of infants live in poor households in the developing world, where the resources for preparing highly bioavailable, iron-rich foods complementary to breast-feeding or for purchasing iron-fortified foods are nonexistent.

  Evidence-Based Interventions to Prevent Maternal Anemia Integration of evidence-based interventions is critical to maternal anemia prevention and control. Available scientific evidence shows that routine supplementation with iron and folic acid (IFA) in pregnancy is effective in preventing anemia where prevalence is high, yet pregnancy anemia rates in much of the world have not declined. In addition to IFA supplementation, integration of other key, evidence-based interventions (like anti-malarials and deworming) can be an effective means of reducing anemia prevalence among pregnant women and women of reproductive age when the multiple causes of anemia in a population are known (i.e., situation analyses). […] Because anemia often emanates from nutritional and disease-related causes, such as malaria and/or intestinal helminth infections along with iron deficiency, anemia should be addressed through an integrated package of interventions, including: Universal daily iron folic-acid supplementation for pregnant women using the recommended doses of 60mg of iron and 400mcg of folic acid; Control of malaria in pregnancy by intermittent preventive treatment, long-lasting insecticide treated bed nets, indoor residual spraying, and Artemisinin Combination Therapy; Control of hookworms through use of deworming medication such as albendazole and mebendazole as a routine part of antenatal care where hookworm prevalence is 20%.

  How can iron deficiency anemia during pregnancy be prevented? Prenatal vitamins typically contain iron. Taking a prenatal vitamin that contains iron can help prevent and treat iron deficiency anemia during pregnancy. In some cases, your health care provider might recommend a separate iron supplement. During pregnancy, you need 27 milligrams of iron a day. […] Good nutrition can also prevent iron deficiency anemia during pregnancy. Dietary sources of iron include lean red meat, poultry and fish. Other options include iron-fortified breakfast cereals, dark green leafy vegetables, dried beans and peas. […] The iron from animal products, such as meat, is most easily absorbed. To enhance the absorption of iron from plant sources and supplements, pair them with a food or drink high in vitamin C — such as orange juice, tomato juice or strawberries. If you take iron supplements with orange juice, avoid the calcium-fortified variety. Although calcium is an essential nutrient during pregnancy, calcium can decrease iron absorption.

  There are developments that could offer opportunities for progress in prevention but these innovations have access issues of their own. For PE, new evidence on calcium supplements has shown that a lower-dose (500mg) regimen is just as effective as the recommended higher-dose approach (1500mg). Lower doses have potential to overcome affordability barriers and improve adherence. For anemia prevention, there is potential for multiple micronutrient supplements to replace IFA. These supplements are conditionally recommended for use by WHO and are generally considered more acceptable than IFA, potentially helping to address adherence challenges. They contain additional essential vitamins and minerals which offers expanded health benefits to mother and newborn beyond anemia reductions such as reducing low-birth weight.

  Iron is an essential nutrient. Iron deficiency in humans has wide-ranging negative consequences, including impaired physical growth, compromised cognitive development, short attention span and impaired learning capacity, reduced muscle function and energy utilization, decreased physical activity and lower work productivity, lowered immunity, increased infectious disease risk, impaired fat absorption (most probably including fat-soluble vitamin A), increased lead absorption with all its negative consequences, and poorer pregnancy outcomes. […] Functional consequences of severe iron-deficiency anemia during pregnancy include increased rates of premature delivery, perinatal complications in mother and newborn, low birthweight, low iron stores, and indications of iron deficiency and anemia in the newborn or in later infancy. Of great concern is the finding that some of the negative effects on cognitive and affective function of iron deficiency in infancy may persist, even after ion deficiency and anemia have been corrected.

  Interventions for anemia prevention and control should incorporate an understanding of the biology as well as the assessment of the severity, magnitude, and prevalence of anemia in public health practice. The causes of anemia are multifactorial. Practitioners can address anemia using three main categories of interventions: 1) those that address non-nutritional causes of anemia (e.g., delayed cord clamping, malaria control, deworming); 2) those that address nutrients alone (e.g., dietary diversification, biofortification, food fortification, supplementation with iron and/or other micronutrients); and 3) those that address both. […] The emphasis of this anemia toolkit will be on interventions of public health relevance, but we also consider the clinical context. In addition to these broad categories, the toolkit will focus on iron and other nutrients like vitamin A, vitamin B12, folate, riboflavin, and zinc that play a role in hemoglobin synthesis and are important for the prevention of anemia such as: interventions at different stages of the life course with a particular focus on women of reproductive age and preschool-age children.

  Evidence-Based Interventions to Prevent Maternal Anemia Integration of evidence-based interventions is critical to maternal anemia prevention and control. Available scientific evidence shows that routine supplementation with iron and folic acid (IFA) in pregnancy is effective in preventing anemia where prevalence is high, yet pregnancy anemia rates in much of the world have not declined. In addition to IFA supplementation, integration of other key, evidence-based interventions (like anti-malarials and deworming) can be an effective means of reducing anemia prevalence among pregnant women and women of reproductive age when the multiple causes of anemia in a population are known (i.e., situation analyses). […] Because anemia often emanates from nutritional and disease-related causes, such as malaria and/or intestinal helminth infections along with iron deficiency, anemia should be addressed through an integrated package of interventions, including: Universal daily iron folic-acid supplementation for pregnant women using the recommended doses of 60mg of iron and 400mcg of folic acid; Control of malaria in pregnancy by intermittent preventive treatment, long-lasting insecticide treated bed nets, indoor residual spraying, and Artemisinin Combination Therapy; Control of hookworms through use of deworming medication such as albendazole and mebendazole as a routine part of antenatal care where hookworm prevalence is 20%.

  How can iron deficiency anemia during pregnancy be prevented? Prenatal vitamins typically contain iron. Taking a prenatal vitamin that contains iron can help prevent and treat iron deficiency anemia during pregnancy. In some cases, your health care provider might recommend a separate iron supplement. During pregnancy, you need 27 milligrams of iron a day. […] Good nutrition can also prevent iron deficiency anemia during pregnancy. Dietary sources of iron include lean red meat, poultry and fish. Other options include iron-fortified breakfast cereals, dark green leafy vegetables, dried beans and peas. […] The iron from animal products, such as meat, is most easily absorbed. To enhance the absorption of iron from plant sources and supplements, pair them with a food or drink high in vitamin C — such as orange juice, tomato juice or strawberries. If you take iron supplements with orange juice, avoid the calcium-fortified variety. Although calcium is an essential nutrient during pregnancy, calcium can decrease iron absorption.
