Dr. Ma Yan
Iron deficiency anemia can allow individuals to survive for over five years, depending on various factors. Since each person's condition and physical constitution differ, life expectancy varies among individuals. Iron deficiency anemia may be caused by reduced hematopoietic function or impaired iron absorption. When excessive iron loss occurs in the body, it leads to iron deficiency anemia, which is closely related to poor dietary habits. In daily life, we should consume more iron-rich foods and maintain a regular sleep schedule by going to bed early and rising early.
