Iron Deficiency and the Developing Brain

This webinar was derived from a live symposium presented at the 57th ESPGHAN Annual Meeting. Presented by Prof. Magnus Domellöf, Neonatologist and Professor of Pediatrics, the session addresses the widespread prevalence of iron deficiency and its significant impact on early developmental outcomes. The video highlights iron deficiency as a major global health concern, particularly among children under five years of age. It explores the essential role of iron in brain development, showing how deficiencies can lead to long-term cognitive and behavioral challenges. Drawing on observational research and intervention trials, the session presents evidence on the benefits of iron supplementation in at-risk populations, especially low birth weight infants, while also addressing the potential risks of excessive intake. Additional focus is given to breastfeeding, targeted dietary strategies, and delayed cord clamping as effective approaches to improving early iron status.

Key Takeaways for Healthcare Professionals

You will learn about:

  • The global burden of iron deficiency in early childhood.

  • How early intervention and prevention strategies improve neurodevelopment.

  • The importance of identifying high-risk groups, such as low birth weight infants.

  • Balancing the benefits and risks of iron supplementation.

  • Practical recommendations for supporting parents with feeding advice and breastfeeding guidance.
