Micronutrient Deficiencies in Children

Micronutrient deficiencies continue to be a significant global health concern affecting millions of children, particularly in low-resource regions. Deficiencies in iron, vitamin A, iodine, zinc, and vitamin D are associated with impaired physical growth, cognitive delays, weakened immune function, and increased susceptibility to infections. Iron deficiency anemia, one of the most common nutritional disorders, can lead to fatigue, impaired learning, and long-term developmental consequences. Vitamin D deficiency affects bone mineralization and can contribute to rickets and other skeletal deformities. Iodine deficiency impairs thyroid function, which is essential for brain development, while zinc deficiency compromises immune competence and wound healing. Addressing these deficiencies requires a combination of supplementation programs, food fortification strategies, and dietary diversification. Maternal nutrition also plays a vital role in ensuring adequate micronutrient supply during gestation, which directly impacts neonatal outcomes. This session will examine the latest research findings on micronutrient status assessment, innovative intervention programs, and policy frameworks aimed at reducing deficiencies at community and national levels. Attention will also be given to emerging strategies that leverage technology, including mobile health tools for monitoring and education, to enhance micronutrient interventions. Collaborative approaches involving governments, non-governmental organizations, healthcare providers, and communities are essential to achieving measurable improvements in micronutrient status among children globally.
