Abstract
Iron deficiency and iron deficiency anemia affect billions of women and children globally. Evidence from mechanistic studies in animal models indicates a clear association between iron and neurobiology and mounting evidence from human trials reveals an association between iron deficiency and alterations in cognition and behavior. This chapter reviews the cognitive and behavioral consequences of iron deficiency in children and women of reproductive age, focusing on randomized controlled trials that have been conducted over the past decade.
