Abstract :

<p>&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;Iron deficiency is thought to be the most common cause of anemia globally. Pregnancy is associated with increased demand for all the nutrients like iron, copper, zinc, vitamin-B12, folic acid and ascorbic acid. Deficiency of any of these substances might affect pregnancy, delivery and outcome of the pregnancy. Minerals have important influence on the health of pregnant women and of the growing fetus. All body functions are affected by iron deficiency in general and not only by anemia, which appears late in the process of tissue iron deficits. The study included 40 pregnant women suffering from IDA (Iron deficiency anemia) with haemoglobin level less than 11.0 g/dl as cases and 20 non-anemic pregnant women with normal blood hemoglobin 12 g/dl were taken as controls. In pregnant women; intestinal iron absorption is significantly affected by competing high serum copper. Adequate and balanced iron diet and supplements are required during pregnancy. More research in copper iron interaction is recommended in pregnant women with IDA.&lt;/p&gt;</p>
