Is there any correlation between Iron status and immunity?

Iron and immunity are closely linked: Research has shown that iron deficiency causes anemia, which can affect your immune system – the body's natural defense system. This increases your vulnerability to infection. Because iron is needed for a healthy immune system, lack of it may cause you to catch more illnesses than usual.1
