Which among the following is a clinical approach to prevent iron deficiency anemia ?

  • A.Food fortification
  • B.Iron supplementation
  • C.Nutrition education
  • D.Integrated approach

Answer: B

The clinical approach is iron supplementation.

Iron supplementation gives iron (often with folic acid) as tablets or syrup to individuals or vulnerable groups, such as pregnant women, adolescent girls and young children under Anemia Mukt Bharat. It acts directly on the body's iron stores and is delivered through the health system, which makes it the clinical or medical approach.

Food fortification and nutrition education are public-health and food-based approaches that work through the diet, and an 'integrated approach' combines several strategies rather than being a clinical measure in itself.
