Results: of the 255 records studied, 162 (63.5%) were in the group of young people who were in the pubertal growth spurt and 93 (36.5%) belonged to the group who were outside the spurt. The presence of iron deficiency was higher among younger adolescents. There frequency of iron deficiency in 37 (14.5%), and 24 (16%) adolescents in the spurt and 13 (11.5%) out of the stretch. Regarding gender, it was found that of the 37 adolescents who had iron deficiency, 24 (64.46%) were males and 13 (35.14%) were females.
