Following is a response from Senior DHS staff member, Tom Pullum:

I believe you did a recode for adults without realizing that the boundaries are different for men and women. You have to look at ha56 and ha57 (for women) separately from hb56 and hb57 (for men). Women have higher physiological requirements for iron, compared with men.
