STRUCTURAL AND EPIDEMIOLOGICAL ANALYSIS OF IRON DEFICIENCY ANEMIA IN SCHOOLCHILDREN OF THE FERGANA VALLEY AND STRATIFICATION BY SEVERITY LEVELS
Abstract
Iron deficiency anemia (IDA) is the most prevalent micronutrient deficiency in the pediatric population, leading to impaired physical development, reduced cognitive performance, and decreased academic achievement. The distribution of disease severity among school-aged children reflects both the depth of the epidemiological process and the effectiveness of early diagnostic systems. In the Fergana Valley, characterized by high population density, the analysis of the structural indicators of IDA provides an important scientific basis for optimizing regional public health policy.
