background iron deficiency is one of the most prevalent anemia. 2 million people in the world suffer from it. all young girls are at higher risk for iron defiency anemia, therefore,diagnosis and prevention of this anemia in the young age is very important. materials and methods: a total of 1500 high school girls educated in five regions of education of mashhad (ages 14-18 years) were studied. c...

The iron status of African-American infants continues to be subject to debate. We characterized the iron status of 198 9-month-old inner-city infants (94% fed iron-fortified formula) using a comprehensive panel of measures and assessing lead and inflammation markers. The proportion with iron deficiency was calculated based on three approaches (> or = 2 abnormal iron measures with or without ane...

The article is devoted to the role of iron, vitamins and minerals in development iron deficiency anaemia children early pre-school age. Iron (ID) one most common nutritional-dependent states world, which, according WHO [1], affects more than 1.5 billion people. form (IDA) [1, 2] about half cases (over 700 million world’s population). ID mostly due nutritional reasons, but age socio-economic fac...

BACKGROUND Iron absorption in humans is highly variable even after iron status and dietary components that influence iron absorption are controlled for. Inherited factors may help explain this variance. OBJECTIVE Our objective was to compare nonheme-iron absorption from a noninhibitory, stable-isotope-labeled test meal in preschool-aged children and their mothers. DESIGN We provided 72 test...

Women have lower iron stores than men because of iron loss during their reproductive years. However, variation between women could result from differences in iron loss, aspects of iron homeostasis common to men and women, or a combination of both. We compared the effects of age, menopause, menstrual blood loss and the number of pregnancies (sex-specific factors), and the effects of genetic vari...

Iron deficiency (ID) is the most common micronutrient deficiency worldwide and young children are a special risk group because their rapid growth leads to high iron requirements. Risk factors associated with a higher prevalence of ID anemia (IDA) include low birth weight, high cow's-milk intake, low intake of iron-rich complementary foods, low socioeconomic status, and immigrant status. The aim...

Different brain structures accumulate iron at different rates throughout the adult life span. Typically, striatal and brain stem structures are higher in iron concentrations in older than younger adults, whereas cortical white matter and thalamus have lower concentrations in the elderly than young adults. Brain iron can be measured in vivo with MRI by estimating the relaxivity increase across m...

BACKGROUND Reactive oxygen species (ROS) contribute to processes relating to cutaneous aging. Iron catalyses ROS formation whereas ascorbic acid (AA) plays a fundamental role in defending the organism against undesirable ROS action. OBJECTIVE The aim of this work was to determine the ex vivo iron and AA concentrations in human dermis from different age groups to better understand their role. ...

background: among the many complications reported for cirrhosis, iron deficiency anemia (ida) has attracted much attention. this type of anemia, in contrast to other types of anemia, is easy to treat prophylactically, but if left untreated can lead to a poor quality of life. the aim of this study was to estimate the hemoglobin and serum iron levels among patients with liver cirrhosis for the ea...
