    Abstract:
    Our study is going to analyse the foodstuffs consumption of the people who have an iron deficiency and then compare it to the consumption of the people who don't have a deficiency. The anemic children who suffer from an iron deficiency have shown an average supply of iron inferior to the required needs which is of 86%. 22.7% of these children have an available iron supply below the recommended average which represents the limit of a severe deficiency risk. No child exceed the severe deficiency risk limit in proteins. 31% of the deficient children have daily energetic supplies inferior to the minimum limit of the daily-required supplies and they are on the brink of a deficiency. The protein needs are common in children but not the energetic ones.
