Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Inadequate intake, protein malabsorption, excessive blood loss, and infection are common causes of iron deficiency anemia in adults. Being vegetarian or vegan, having food allergies or excessive urinary losses, and taking herbal supplements or excessive fiber in the diet may increase the risk of developing iron deficiency anemia, but they are not direct causes. Menstruation and periods of rapid growth are more commonly associated with iron deficiency anemia in adolescents, rather than adults.
