Anemia, iron deficiency (ID), and iron deficiency anemia (IDA) are common disorders. This study was undertaken to determine the prevalence of anemia, ID, and IDA in Korean females. We examined the associations between IDA, heavy metals in blood, vitamin D level and nutritional intakes. The study was performed using on data collected from 10,169 women (aged ≥ 10 yr), including 1,232 with anemia,...

BACKGROUND Gastric Helicobacter pylori colonization leads to iron deficiency anemia (IDA), especially in children and adolescents. However the pathogenesis is poorly understood. OBJECTIVE We sought to identify specific H. pylori genes involved in IDA development, by comparing bacterial genome-wide expression profiling in patients affected or not. METHODS H. pylori were isolated from four ch...

BACKGROUND Obesity is a serious condition affecting more than 35% of adults in the United States. In obese individuals for whom other weight control methods have been ineffective, bariatric surgery is a safe and effective method of weight control. An estimated 150,000 to 160,000 bariatric surgeries are performed in the United States yearly. Iron deficiency anemia is common in patients after bar...

The cause-effect relationship between iron deficiency anemia (IDA) and osteoporosis has not been established in the general population. Thus, the current longitudinal study determined the role of IDA as a risk factor for osteoporosis by analyzing a large nationwide population-based sample. In a sample of 1,000,000 randomly sampled individuals from the 1998-2012. Taiwan National Health Insurance...

OBJECTIVE This study evaluated the risk of cancer among patients with iron deficiency anemia (IDA) by using a nationwide population-based data set. METHOD Patients newly diagnosed with IDA and without antecedent cancer between 2000 and 2010 were recruited from the Taiwan National Health Insurance Research Database. The standardized incidence ratios (SIRs) of cancer types among patients with I...

Background: Diabetes Mellitus (DM) has become a major health problem worldwide. American Diabetes Association has considered HbA1C levels ≤ 6.5 % as the prime target for glycemic control and as a diagnostic criterion for DM. Anemia is common in DM (8-66%). Studies on alteration of HbA1C in IDA have conflicting results. Objectives: To identify and compare the effect of IDA on HbA1C levels among ...

This study aimed to examine the prognostic significance of pre-existing iron deficiency anemia (IDA) and the benefits of early colonoscopy in patients with colon cancer, since these have not been clearly established to date. Using the Taiwanese National Health Insurance Research Database, we retrieved and retrospectively reviewed the records of patients aged ≥ 55 years who were diagnosed with c...

background: the iron deficiency anemia (ida) is a common cause of referral to medical departments. chronic gastrointestinal (gi) blood loss is important cause of ida and also an alarming sign of serious underlying disease. the information concerning ideal evaluation of the gastrointestinal tract in patients with the ida is scant. we designed a prospective study to determine the frequency of gi ...
