Women of reproductive age are at the highest risk for iron deficiency due to menstrual bleeding and increased iron needs during pregnancy. Infants, toddlers, and the elderly may also be at risk but not as much as women of reproductive age. Alcoholism can contribute to iron deficiency, but it is not as common as in women of reproductive age.
