Iron deficiency conditions are widespread diseases. Nepal, as well as the North Caucasus, refer to mountainous territories in connection with which the question of the influence of the geographic climate area of accommodation on the frequency of iron deficiency states is. The purpose of the study: to determine the frequency of iron deficiency states in children of one year of life in Nepal and the Kabardino-Balkarian Republic, living in conditions of lowland and middle mountains, taking into account the commitment to traditional nutrition and vegetarianism. A study of 228 children was conducted one year of life: 83 children were from Nepal and 145 children from Kabardino-Balkarian Republic. The high frequency of iron deficiency in children of one year of life in Nepal (44.5 %) and the North Caucasus (62 %) was revealed. So, with the same amount of iron coming from food, living in the Municipality leads to a greater frequency of latent iron deficiency than in children living at a lower height relative to sea levels both in Nepal and in the CBD. Children from families of traditional vegetarianism did not differ from the studied indicators from children whose families had no such restrictions on nutrition.
