Iron deficiency anemia and hyperlipidemia are common public health problems in Turkey. The connection between iron and lipid metabolisms has not been clarified yet. The aim of the study was to determine the effect of iron deficiency on carnitine and lipid ...
Background: A number of algorithms have been developed that seek to predict the bioavailability of iron from mixed meals and diets, but their direct validity in predicting change in iron status remains questionable. Throughout the course of conducting a ...
Increasing obesity is a major global health concern while at the same time iron-deficiency anemia remains common worldwide. Although these two conditions represent opposite ends of the spectrum of over- and under-nutrition, they appear to be linked: ...
The aim of this study was to estimate the zinc (Zn) and iron (Fe) status of different age groups in rural (Rooran) and suburban (Khomeini Shahr) populations in central Iran, to relate the Zn status to Zn intake from animal and plant foods, and to examine ...
Abstract. Iron deficiency (ID) is one of the most common nutritional problems in the developing world, affecting primarily women of childbearing age. Poor dietary iron intake is a major reason of ID. Accurate measurement of iron intake is of crucial ...
In 6% of 854 patients in a city general practice anemia was found. Anemia was defined by WHO criteria. An algorithm for the evaluation of the cause includes patient’s history and laboratory investigations inclusive of reticulocyte count, serum ferritin ...
Iron deficiency (ID) without anaemia frequently remains undiagnosed when symptoms are attributed to ID with anaemia. Serum ferritin is the primary diagnostic parameter, whereas <10 μg/l represent depleted iron stores, 10–30 μg/l can confirm ID without ...
Anemia in the ElderlyAbstract. Anemia is an increasing cause of morbidity in the elderly. In 70–80 % of cases the cause can be identified as either due to iron deficiency, chronic disease, renal insufficiency or vitamin B12-/folate-deficiency. Up to one ...
