抄録

Even in Japan, at a time now called a “satiation period, ” the problem of iron deficiency still remains to be solved. Iron deficiency is not only a nutritional problem, but also a physical and social problem. To solve these problems, much new knowledge about iron deficiency has recently been reported. Nutritionally, intestinal iron absorption and iron content of food has been investigated, and the mechanism of iron absorption has now been made clear at a molecular level. Physically, the possibility of iron deficiency induced developmental delay and learning difficulty has been pointed out because from early infancy in childhood through adolescence, the body needs additional iron supply for its rapid growth, and it is susceptible to iron deficiency. Socially, dietary habits tend to be corrupted, contrary to “satiation.” The concern about iron deficiency is low, and enlightenment about the pathogenicity of iron deficiency is by no means sufficient. We hope for the establishment of a nationwide screening system for anemia (iron deficiency) in childhood.
