Back ground and Objective: Iron deficiency anemia is a widespread health problem and associated with many complications, while its association with zinc deficiency is still uncertain. The aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of Anemia and Iron Deficiency Anemia then to assess the serum zinc status and its relation to the iron deficiency anemia among emigrated Yazidis people, in Khanki camp in Duhok city, Iraqi Kurdistan region. Materials and Methods: This study consist of two parts, the first is cross sectional, to determine iron deficiency anemia and anemia prevalence. The second part of this study is a case control, to investigate the serum level of zinc and its significance among individuals with iron deficiency anemia. Assessment of serum ferritin and blood hemoglobin were used to diagnose anemia and iron deficiency anemia. The study performed in 2015-2016, among 1400 emigrant Yazidis people, divided into five groups. Then serum zinc values were estimated among 200 individuals with iron deficiency anemia and 100 healthy controls. All these data were analyzed statistically. Results: Statistical analysis indicated that (38.7%) of whole age groups presented with anemia and the pregnant women showed the highest prevalence (59.9%). On the other hand, 48.1% of whole age groups presented with low serum ferritin, and the highest prevalence (66.1%) found among pregnant women group. Iron deficiency anemia observed in (25.5%) of total participants with the highest prevalence in pregnant women group (32.6%). The mean concentration of serum zinc for the first group (200 cases) was 56 ± 16.44 μg/dl, which is significantly (P value < 0.001) low in comparison to the control group in which the mean concentration of serum zinc was 82 ± 12.27 μg/dl. Conclusion: Iron deficiency anemia has a high prevalence among residents of this camp, especially among pregnant women. In addition, there was a strong significance between iron deficiency anemia and low serum zinc. These results suggest the need for iron and zinc supplements for treatment of the current deficiencies and prevention of more cases.
