To mark World Iron Awareness Week (13-19 October 2025), research commissioned by Make it Scotch highlighted that nearly half of women in Scotland are unlikely to be getting enough iron in their diet. 

The research investigates awareness of iron deficiency symptoms and highlights an unfamiliarity with many signs of the condition.

The work was carried out through the ScotPulse panel with a sample of more than 1,000 women in Scotland.
