Iron deficiency anemia can be of deficiency or non-deficiency origin and depending on the degree of anemia; treatment will be with oral iron accompanied by a varied and balanced diet. In addition to this, there is also the relationship that anemia has with chronic malnutrition, which in turn is linked to the mother's gestation period and the first two years of life, where the child has not received the necessary nutrients and as a consequence will have a weaker immune system being prone to developing diseases.
