How nutrition and metabolism regulate immunity is of broad interest. Iron deficiency is the world’s most common micronutrient disorder, causing anaemia, fatigue, and developmental impairment. Iron deficiency remains a global health problem despite decades of aid programmes and is predicted to increase in prevalence as a result of climate change. This talk will examine how iron and anaemia influence immunity and infectious diseases.
