Background: Iron-deficiency anemia (IDA) is the most common cause of anemia worldwide. It is considered to be a major public health problem in developing countries specifically in women and young children. The university students usually take fast junk food, and the food value of their diets is not always balanced. To our knowledge, the prevalence of IDA among Palestinian university students is not well studied.
