Although it may sound uncommon, iron deficiency anemia is a very present disease that represents shortage of red blood cells as a result of low blood cells in the organism.
When the body lacks iron to turn it into hemoglobin, the red blood cannot carry oxygenated blood to all the body tissues and this comes with many side-effects you might have noticed.
All people are subjected to iron deficiency anemia, although some are more prone to the disease than others.
The biggest risk group is the vegetarians and vegans, since red meat, the biggest iron source, is omitted from their nutrition. Also, blood donors are exposed to suffering from this disease since they share large quantities of iron with other people.
The same is true for women donors more than men, because of the pregnancy factor as well as the menstrual cycle.
About 3% of the men suffer from this disease but that is very little if compared to the 20% of women and 50% of pregnant women that have experienced iron deficiency anemia.
