People who have low fat diets, diets that are high in sugar and high fibre diets are more likely to incur iron deficiency anaemia. This is because low fat diets are frequently light in animal-based products, which tend to be rich in iron, while high fibre diets can cause problems with i...
Oral iron supplementation is used widely in older people despite observational studies suggesting it is ineffective. The aim of this systematic review was
Background: up to 25% of older people in the USA and other Western countries are anaemic by World Health Organization (WHO) criteria. The objective of this study was to examine the long-term relationships of haemoglobin concentration with all-cause and cause-specific mortality in a community-ba...
In areas of high malaria transmission malaria nearly all infants and young children, and many older children and adults have a reduced haemoglobin concentration as a result. In these areas severe life-threatening malarial anaemia requiring blood trans- fusion in young children is a major cause of ...
Anemia is associated with poorer sleep in children, and clinically, anemia is linked to insomnia. However, the association between anemia and insomnia in older adults is understudied. What drink is high in iron? Prune juiceis made from dried plums, or prunes, which contain many nutrients that ...
In most of Asia and the Americas malaria transmission is low and seasonal. In Asia, the prevalences ofP. falciparumandP. vivaxmalaria overall are approximately equal [2]. In the AmericasP. vivaxpredominates. In these areas people commonly receive ≤ 1 infectious bite per year (the entomologi...
and many older children and adults have a reduced haemoglobin concentration as a result. In these areas severe life-threatening malarial anaemia requiring blood transfusion in young children is a major cause of hospital admission, particularly during the rainy season months when malaria transmission is...
The mean eGFR of the participants based on age categories is shown in Table 2, in which there was a significant difference in the means among children older than 10 years. Table 2 Mean eGFR of the study participants Full size table While 22.1% of children with SCA had eGFR levels below ...
