Abstract

Iron deficiency (ID)/iron deficiency anemia (IDA) is the most common hematologic disorder throughout the world. In infants and children, this deficiency can cause persistent cognitive deficit. Therefore, as in all diseases, "prevention of disease"is the best treatment choice. Preventive approaches should include iron-rich nutri-tion, providing adolescent girls and mothers with adequate iron, decreasing obesity,eradication of helicobacter and parasitic infections in the community, delayed clamping of the cord in delivery as well as iron supplementation of infants as in our co-untry. Iron supplementation in certain risk groups, not only in the first year of in-fants, would be more suitable.

Demir eksikliği (DE)/demir eksikliği anemisi (DEA), dünyadaki en yaygın hematolojik bozukluktur. Bebeklik ve çocukluk çağında DE kalıcı bilişsel bozukluğa yol açabilir. Bu nedenle, tüm hastalıklarda olduğu gibi, DE’nde de “hastalığın önlenmesi” en iyi tedavi seçeneğidir. Bu önlemler, ülkemizdeki gibi demir desteği programları yanı sıra beslenmenin düzenlenmesi, ergen ve doğurganlık çağındaki kadınlarda demir eksikliğinin önlenmesi, toplumda obezite, helikobakter enfeksiyonu veparaziter hastalıkların azaltılması, doğumda kordun geç klemplenmesi gibi uygulamaları da içermelidir. Oral demir desteğinin sadece yaşamın ilk yılındaki çocuklara değil, tüm risk gruplarına verilmesi uygun olacaktır.
