Iron nutritional status according to hemoglobin and ferritin values, by age group, in IMSS-Oportunidades (IO). Normal: Hemoglobin above the cut-off for anemia and ferritin > = 10 μg/L. Iron deficiency without anemia: ferritin < 10 μg/L and Hb > = cut-off for anemia, by age group. Anemia: Hb < cut-off for anemia, by age group. Iron deficiency anemia: ferritin < 10 μg/L and Hb < cut-off for anemia, by age group. Anemia due to other causes: ferritin ≥ 10 μg/L and Hb < cut-off for anemia, by age group.
