In Côte d'Ivoire very few studies have been devoted to the exploration of iron status among school-age children. This study aims to evaluate iron status in children aged 5 to 11 years in good health in three canteens of three municipalities in of Abidjan (Côte d'Ivoire). A total of 103 students, including 42 girls and 61 boys were selected for this study. Blood samples were taken in each of these children in order to investigate some parameters of blood count and determine some biochemical parameters of iron status. The mean values of various biological parameters of iron status were normal in accordance to physiological reference values from the literature with the exception of hemoglobin in boys which is below normal rate. All parameters did not indicate significant differences between girls and boys (p > 0.05). Our study indicated that in children about two out of three have abnormal iron status. Abnormal iron status is composed respectively by 3.9% of iron deficiency, 8.7% iron deficiency anaemia, 22.3% of simple inflammatory anemia and 23.3% of inflammatory anaemia associated to deficiency martial. Iron deficiency anemia was the only type of nutritional anaemia noted in this work. In addition, we observed two types of anaemia of inflammatory origin.
