ABSTRACT
There is world-wide concern that women of childbearing age cannot meet the increased iron needs during pregnancy. In the industrial world however, iron supplementation during pregnancy is a controversial issue. On the one hand, selective iron supplementation after iron status assessment has been recommended because not all women need iron, and compliance is likely to be better when an individual's need is recognized. On the other hand, routine iron supplementation to all women in the second half of pregnancy has been advocated in order to reach all women without the difficulties associated with assessment of iron status. Pregnant women could possibly meet their iron needs by increasing iron absorption efficiency. Although in that case, dietary counselling may prevent anaemia during pregnancy, supplementation with iron will be necessary to cure iron-deficiency anaemia.
