Based on WHO data 2011, of 100% cases of patients with severe anemia, there were 50% of pregnant women, 49% of non-pregnant women, and 42% of children suffered from iron deficiency. Other literatures mentioned about 2-5% of adult men and post menopause women were diagnosed as iron deficiency anemia in developed countries.
