Abstract

Iron is an essential element for the human organism. Iron deficiency anemia (IDA) is one of the most important health problems in Turkey. Iron deficiency (ID) is more frequently seen that IDA. In developed countries, although the incidence of iron deficiency-related anemia has declined significantly, the condition still remains a health issue. Because, as with IDA, iron deficiency can lead to growth retardation in children, this is regarded as a major public health problem. Cognitive, emotional, motor and behavioral test results in children with the condition are adversely affected. Many studies have been carried out to learn the causes and mechanisms of the condition and to ascertain whether the effects are reversible. The condition causes a permanent decline of intelligence In untreated children or whenever treatment is delayed. For this reason, an iron-rich diet is important in all stages of life and it is particularly important for mothers to supplement their iron intake during pregnancy to ensure that the newborn starts off life with a rich store of iron. Developmental retardation is not completely curable with iron therapy. At the same time, if iron deficiency can be treated with iron supplements before it becomes a chronic and serious condition, motor, cognitive and emotional disorders may be prevented. This article reviews the emotional, motor and cognitive effects of iron deficiency in children as well as the impact of iron on neuronal functions.

Özet

Demir, insan organizması için esansiyel bir elementtir. Demir eksikliği anemisi (DEA) ülkemizin en önemli sağlık sorunlarından biridir. Demir eksikliğinin (DE), DEA’den daha sık olduğu gözlenmiştir. Gelişmiş ülkelerde demir eksikliğine bağlı anemi insidansı çok azalmış, ancak eksiklik halen sorun olarak devam etmektedir. Demir eksikliği de DEA gibi çocukların gelişiminde geriliğe yol açabileceği için, önemli bir halk sağlığı sorunu olarak görülmektedir. Çocuklarda bilişsel, duygu durum, motor ve davranış testlerini olumsuz etkilemektedir. Bu etkinin geri dönüşümlü olup olmadığı, nedenleri ve mekanizması üzerine birçok çalışma yapılmıştır. Çocuklarda tedavide gecikme olduğunda ya da tedavi edimediğinde zekâ seviyelerinde kalıcı düşmeye neden olmaktadır. Bunun için yaşamın her döneminde demirden zengin besinlerle beslenme, gebelik sırasında annenin demir desteği alması ve yenidoğanın demirden zengin olarak doğmasının sağlanması önemlidir. Demir tedavisi ile gelişme geriliği tam olarak düzelmemektedir. Bununla birlikte demir desteği ya da tedavisi ile demir eksikliği kronik ve ciddi olmadan önce ya da tedavi edilebilirse motor, bilişsel gerilik ve duygulanım bozuklukları önlenebilmektdir. Bu makalede demir eksikliğinin çocuklar üzerinde duygu durum, motor ve bilişsel etkileri ile demirin nöronal fonksiyonlardaki etkisi gözden geçirilmiştir.
