Although iron deficiency can affect women throughout their reproductive years, late adolescence (16\u201318 years) represents a particularly vulnerable period because of rapid growth, increased iron requirements, establishment of menstrual cycles, and dietary transitions. Identifying iron deficiency during this critical developmental stage may facilitate early intervention before entry into adulthood and the broader reproductive period. Since there is no confirmed information on the prevalence of iron deficiency in this high\u2010risk age group in South Khorasan Province, this study aimed to assess the prevalence of IDA among female high school students in Birjand.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This study was conducted on blood samples from participants to analyze serum ferritin, total iron\u2010binding capacity (TIBC), iron as well as complete blood count (CBC). Written consent was obtained before sample collection. The samples were then sent to a medical diagnostic facility for analysis.

Among the 143 participants, 15.5% were diagnosed with anemia, while 7.4% were classified as iron deficiency anemia. The mean levels of ferritin, TIBC, and serum iron were 44.199\u2009ng\/mL, 327.79\u2009\u00b5g\/dL, and 97.31\u2009\u00b5g\/dL, respectively.
