Question

iron deficiency anemia is usually due to

dehydration.

allergies.

too much red meat in the diet

chronic blood loss

Explanation:

Iron - deficiency anemia occurs when the body lacks sufficient iron to produce an adequate amount of hemoglobin. Chronic blood loss can deplete the body's iron stores as iron is lost with the blood. Dehydration affects fluid balance, allergies are immune - response related, and too much red meat (a good source of iron) would not cause iron - deficiency anemia.

Answer:

chronic blood loss
