To estimate the prevalence of iron deficiency and iron-deficiency anemia among adolescent and young adult females to guide screening guidelines.
Evaluated nationwide survey data covering US females aged 12 to 21 years collected from 2003 through 2020.
Measured hematologic and biochemical markers to identify cases of iron deficiency and iron-deficiency anemia.
Epidemiologic surveillance identified persistent rates of iron deficiency across the 2003–2020 study timeline.
Identified prevalence levels suggest existing case-finding approaches underdetect iron deficiency, supporting updated clinical screening practices for young females.
