In the United States, the prevalence and severity of anemia have declined in recent years; hence, the proportion of anemia due to causes other than iron deficiency has increased substantially. As a consequence, the effectiveness of anemia screening for iron deficiency has decreased in the United States <ref name="urlRecommendations to Prevent and Control Iron Deficiency in the United States">{{cite web |url=http://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/00051880.htm#top |title=Recommendations to Prevent and Control Iron Deficiency in the United States |format= |work= |accessdate=2012-09-18}}</ref>.

*  
* Iron deficiency is the most common known form of nutritional deficiency in United States.
* Its prevalence is highest among young children and women of childbearing age (particularly pregnant women).
* In children, iron deficiency causes developmental delays and behavioral disturbances, and in pregnant women, it increases the risk for a preterm delivery and delivering a low-birthweight baby.
* In the past three decades, increased iron intake among infants has resulted in a decline in childhood iron-deficiency anemia in the United States.
* As a consequence, the use of screening tests for [[anemia]] has become a less efficient means of detecting iron deficiency in some populations. For women of childbearing age, iron deficiency has remained prevalent.
* CDC emphasizes sound iron nutrition for infants and young children, screening for anemia among women of childbearing age, and the importance of low-dose iron supplementation for pregnant women.
