"Iron Deficiency Anemia," by Anthony Lopez et al., published in The Lancet, found on PubMed, confirms these findings from the CDC. The article agrees that child bearing age women and young children/toddlers are the most at risk for iron deficiency anemia.
The charts show that the populations most at risk for iron deficiency anemia are toddlers (1-2 yo) and females of child bearing age (12-49). Iron deficiency anemia is two times higher among non-Hispanic black and Mexican-American females than white women (Iron).
