Abstract

Background: Iron deficiency anemia and stunting are two serious public health issues affecting millions of children worldwide, especially in developing countries. Both conditions impact the health and development aspects of children, but recent studies indicate a link between the two conditions. Objective: This article aims to study and investigate the relationship between iron deficiency anemia and the occurrence of stunting in children. Moreover, it will identify the main causative factors and propose intervention strategies to address and reduce the prevalence of these two nutritional problems. Methods: This summary is based on a literature review regarding the impact of iron deficiency anemia and stunting in children, as well as the relationship between them. Results: Iron deficiency anemia is associated with a reduced oxygen transport capacity in the blood, affecting the cognitive and physical development of children. Conclusion: The impact of stunting results from chronic undernutrition manifested in disproportionate physical growth, especially shorter stature compared to age standards. Studies show a correlation between iron deficiency and a higher chance of experiencing stunting.
