The iron losses/requirements of children, adolescents, adult men and women, pregnant and lactating women are presented and interpreted in the light of present information concerning the intestinal iron absorption. This helps to explain the high frequency of iron deficiency during childhood and in fertile women. The problems affecting treatment as well as the various approaches to iron deficiency prevention are also discussed.
