Iron deficiency anemia (IDA) is the most widespread nutritional disorder among children globally, particularly affecting those under five years of age. It can lead to irreversible impairments in cognitive development, physical growth, and immunity if left untreated. This article explores the etiology, clinical features, diagnostic criteria, and modern approaches to treatment and prevention of IDA in pediatric populations. By analyzing up-to-date evidence from medical literature, this study underscores the necessity of early diagnosis and intervention to mitigate the long-term consequences of iron deficiency in children.
