A liver biopsy with liver iron concentration was done at entry and 6 months after phlebotomy (n = 56) until...
متن کاملAssociations of the Dietary Diversity Score and Food Variety Score with Serum Magnesium and Ferritin Status
Introduction: Dietary diversity score (DDS) and Food variety score (FVS) are the appropriate measures used to evaluate the overall quality of dietary patterns. However, their associations with the serum levels of micronutrients remain unclear. The present study aimed to investigate the correlations between DDS/FVS and serum ferritin and magnesium status in the non-athlete femal...
