Why do adolescent girls are more likely to suffer from iro deficiency than boys?

Adolescent girls are more likely to suffer from iron deficiency than boys primarily due to menstruation, which results in regular blood loss and increased iron requirements. Additionally, girls may have lower dietary iron intake compared to boys, compounded by societal factors such as dietary restrictions or preferences. The increased demand for iron during periods of growth and development, combined with these factors, makes them more vulnerable to iron deficiency.
