Iron deficiency is one of the most common forms of nutritional deficiencies, particularly among vulnerable groups such as women, children a... low-income populations. Iron deficiency often precedes anaemia, and anaemia during pregnancy is one of the strongest predictors of anaemia during the postpartum period, beginning just after childbirth throughout the subsequent 6 weeks.
