Common Micronutrient Deficiencies
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
- Iron
- Folate (B9)
- Zinc
- Iodine
- Vitamin A
Iron Deficiency:
1. Highest Risk Population
2. Symptoms
- Young children and premenopausal women
- Microcytic hypochromic anemia, fatigue, apathy, paleness, weakness, breathing difficulty upon exertion, decreased resistance for cold temperatures
Microcytic Hypochromic Anemia
The type of anemia in which the circulating RBCs are smaller than the usual size of RBCs (Microcytic) and have decreased red color (hypochromic)
Sources of Iron:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
- Beef
- Shellfish
- Organ meats
- Spinach
- Legumes
Folate (B9) Deficiency:
1. Symptoms
2. Supplementation
- Fatigue and weakness (megaloblastic anemia), and in pregnancy, is linked with preterm delivery, low birth weight, retardation of fetal growth, and neural tube defects
- Supplementation during periconceptional period decreases the incidence of neural tube defects
Sources of Folate (B9):
1.
2.
3.
4.
- Enriched and fortified grains
- Green leafy vegetables
- Beef liver
- Legumes
Zinc Deficiency:
1. Symptoms
2. Developing Countries
- Skin lesions, increased susceptibility to infection, diarrhea, poor appetite, night blindness, reduced taste and smell acuity, hair loss, low sperm count, and slow wound healing
- In developing countries, zinc deficiency is considered one of the main causes of morbidity
Sources of Zinc:
1.

- Shellfish
- Beef
- Enriched and fortified grains
- Pumpkin seeds
Iodine Deficiency:
1. Highest Risk Population
2. Symptoms
- Infants and pregnant women
- Diminished mental functions, goiters (enlarged thyroid gland), cretinism (severely stunted physical and mental growth), and hyper-/hypothyroidism
Sources of Iodine:
1.
2.

4.
5.
- Shellfish
- Seaweed
- Seafood
- Iodized table salt
- Dairy
Vitamin A Deficiency:
1. Symptoms
2. Developing Countries
- Bitot spots development, xerophthalmia (dryness of eye), night blindness, keratomalacia (dryness and clouding of cornea), and permanent blindness
- Children around the world suffer from subclinical vitamin A deficiency, and have higher infection susceptibility and reduced physical growth
