Abstract:
Iron deficiency (ID) is the most common trace element deficiency in childhood. Recent studies have shown that late fetus period, neonatal period, and infancy are important periods for brain development, and ID during these periods may cause irreversible damage to brain development, including abnormal emotion and behavior, cognitive decline, and attention deficit, which may still be present in adulthood. Therefore, it should be taken seriously. This article summarizes the research advances in major mechanisms involved in brain developmental disorder due to ID in the early stage of life and related intervention measures.
