History and Objectives: Due to the significance of Iron deficiency anemia, its known complications and unknown status, this study was performed on female students at third degree level of high school in Kashan in 1376.

Materials and Methods: This study was performed on 350 individuals selected by random sampling from 1750 female students at third degree level of high school in Kashan. Their demographic characteristics, height and weight were recorded on the data sheets. Then their blood samples were collected. Iron deficiency anemia was defined as hemoglobin less than 12 gr/dl, hematocrit less than 36%, MCV less than 80 femtoliters, MCH less than 26 picograms and serum ferritin less than 10 picograms per liter.

Results: According to hemoglobin, hematocrit, MCV, MCH and serum ferritin 15.4%, 11.2%, 10.3%, 12.2% and 17.8% of the population under study were affected by Iron deficiency anemia respectively.

Conclusion: Considering the results of this research, Iron deficiency anemia is relatively common among female students at high school level. Further analytic studies to find out its cause or causes are recommended.
