<p>The article examines the impact of anemia, primarily iron deficiency, on the quality of life of the population of different age groups. Quality of life is interpreted as a complex characteristic that integrates physical condition, mental well-being, social adaptation, material well-being and the availability of timely medical care, as well as the provision of safe, effective, and affordable medicines, dietary supplements, and food products. Anemia causes chronic fatigue, shortness of breath, dizziness, palpitations, cognitive impairment, decreased performance, emotional instability, and physical weakness, which significantly worsens functional status and life expectancy. The global epidemiology of anemia according to WHO data and modern studies is highlighted, including its high prevalence among preschool and school-age children, pregnant and non-pregnant women, the elderly, and its significant contribution to the loss of years of healthy life due to disability. Special attention is paid to the importance of early detection of anemia, where the key laboratory indicator is hemoglobin concentration, as well as determination of ferritin and indicators of iron status. he relevance of the problem of iron deficiency anemia in Ukraine and the need to implement modern diagnostic and preventive approaches are emphasized. Based on an analysis of the USA experience with the "Dietary Guidelines for Americans, 2025–2030", the need to form an intersectoral state policy in Ukraine aimed at providing the population with high-quality food products and reducing the risk of anemia as an important factor in improving public health and quality of life is substantiated.</p>
