Aim:
Background: A study was undertaken to assess the knowledge of female pupils concerning iron deficiency anemia in Rangin Preparatory School in Sulaimani city and to determine the relationship between socio-demographic traits and general knowledge of iron deficient anemia.

Material and methods:
Aims of the study: This descriptive study used a non-probability, convenience sample of 210 females. It took place in Sulaimani city between November 3, 2022, and December 10, 2022, at Rangin Preparatory School. A well-designed questionnaire was created, with the first portion focusing on sociodemographic traits and the second section included the pupil's personal information. The final section asked participants whether they were knowledgeable about iron deficiency anemia.

Results:
The research found that 64.3% of participants were knowledgeable about iron insufficiency. Female knowledge is statistically correlated or positively correlated with parents' education level and age. The association between student knowledge and other sociodemographic factors, however, is not statistically significant or favorable

Conclusions:
This study assessed the understanding of iron deficiency anemia among students. The study's conclusions showed that most participants knew something about iron deficiency anemia. In order to live a healthy lifestyle, it is imperative for female in particular to be informed about iron deficiency anemia.
