Iron deficiency anaemia is still a serious public health issue, especially in cities where dietary and lifestyle choices greatly increase the condition's incidence. This study focuses on several age subgroups within the young adult population in order to determine the overall prevalence of iron deficiency anaemia among people in an urban setting who are between the ages of 18 and 60.
Through the analysis of data from a representative sample of urban dwellers, the study determines the prevalence and distribution of iron deficiency anaemia, looks at the socioeconomic and demographic factors that affect its prevalence, and identifies any notable differences between the 18–60 age range
