工作背景：缺铁是贫血的一个主要原因，在发展中国家更为普遍，在资源稀缺的情况下，对卫生保健系统造成额外负担。高危群体包括妇女和儿童，但由于生理原因，妇女的风险相对较高。多种因素可以预测贫血，这反过来又导致各种不良后果。
目的：本文献综述的目的是回顾和综合文献中关于发展中国家缺铁性贫血的负担、原因、结果和重要干预措施的发现。
研究方法：通过从各种数据库（如Pub med、Google scholar、Science direct、World Bank和WHO数据库）检索文章进行广泛的文献综述。通过使用以下文本单词和短语从不同的数据库检索相关文章：“贫血”，“缺铁”，“贫血的风险因素”，“贫血的结果”，“干预措施”和发展中国家。
结果：在文献中已确定了包括遗传和环境因素在内的多种决定因素。其中一些因素是缺乏适当的饮食，社会经济地位差，妇女的高生育率，获得不良健康和遗传等，此外，贫血可导致各种不良结果，如疲劳，精神健康状况不佳，注意力不集中，胎儿-新生儿结局不佳，如死胎，早产和产后出血。
结论：缺铁性贫血是发展中国家育龄妇女的重要公共卫生问题之一。年龄、产次、社会经济地位和饮食等多种因素可以决定育龄妇女体内铁的储存。贫血可能导致多种不良后果，可以通过及时采取适当的具有成本效益的干预措施来预防。
Background: Iron deficiency is a major cause of anemia and is more prevalent in developing countries, posing additional burden on health care systems, in the presence of scarcity of resources. The high-risk group consists of females and children but comparatively it is higher in females due to physiological reasons. Multiple factors can predict anemia, which in turn leads to various adverse outcomes.
Objective: The purpose of this literature review was to review and synthesize the findings from literature about the burden, causes, outcomes and important interventions of iron deficiency anemia for developing countries.
Methods: An extensive literature review was carried out by retrieving articles from various databases like Pub med, Google scholar, Science direct, World Bank and WHO databases. Relevant articles were retrieved from different databases by using following text words and phrases: ‘anemia’, ‘Iron deficiency’, ‘risk factors of anemia’, ‘outcomes of anemia’, ‘interventions’ and developing countries.
Results: Multiple determinants of iron deficiency anemia have been identified in the literature including genetic and environmental factors. Some of these factors are lack of proper diet, poor socioeconomic status, high parity of women, access to poor health and genetic etc. Moreover, anemia can result in various poor outcomes like fatigue, poor mental health, lack of concentration, poor feto-neonatal outcomes like stillbirth, preterm birth and postpartum Hemorrhage.
Conclusion: Iron deficiency anemia is one of the important public health problems in developing countries among the women of reproductive age group. Multiple factors like age, parity, socioeconomic status and diet can determine the stores of iron in the women of reproductive age group. Anemia can lead to multiple adverse outcomes, which can be prevented by doing appropriate cost-effective interventions on time.
