RE: SEC S20W3 || Morphological Anemias - Module 3
Once again, brilliant explanation from you. A lot of my friends have anemia specially the females. Why do you think that's the case?

Thank you so much for your thoughtful question! You're absolutely right—anemia, especially iron deficiency anemia, is much more common in women. One of the main reasons is the monthly menstrual cycle, which naturally causes iron loss. Pregnancy also increases the body's demand for iron and folate, and if this isn't balanced with proper intake, it can lead to deficiencies. In countries with lower socioeconomic conditions, poor nutrition, particularly in young women, adds to the risk. So it's really important to focus on a balanced diet and proper supplementation to prevent these issues
