A new meta-analysis including over 17,000 college athletes and military recruits reported that 31 percent had iron deficiency (ferritin <30 ng/mL). Female athletes/recruits were more likely to be affected than male athletes/recruits; prevalence was similar in those <18 versus ≥18 years of age. These observations confirm that high-intensity physical training is a significant risk factor for iron deficiency and support a role for screening in this population.
