In the case of males, differences in lean body weight, and factors affecting absorption of iron also need to be considered. In order to thoroughly explore the issues in treatment of iron deficiency anemia, randomized controlled trials are required to investigate the frequency of dosing, impact of...

A population of 163 incarcerated delinquents (126 males and 37 females aged 12–18 years) was studied to determine the prevalence of iron deficiency and to compare hemoglobin (Hgb), mean corpuscular volume (MCV), serum ferritin (SF), and erythrocyte protoparphyrin/hemoglobin (EP/Hgb) as predi...
The prevalence of iron deficiency was significantly higher in females than males (p=0.0170). Young age (p=0.0120), poor preoperative iron status (p=0.0004), vitamin B 12 deficiency (p=0.0009), and increasing time after surgery (p<0.0001) were also associated with iron deficiency. In the ...
Iron is located in all cells but most iron is found in the red blood cells. Your body also needs iron to make some hormones. When there is an iron deficiency, the red blood cells cannot effectively provide oxygen to the cells and tissues of the human body. This can cause many health...
Iron deficiency anemia (IDA) is the most prevalent diet-related disorder and mainly affects women and children. To determine the trend of anemia incidence in Pakistan, a current review was carried out. This review aimed to estimate the prevalence of anemia among pregnant women and adult/adolescent...
Iron deficiency anemia is commonly observed among women of fertile age in Scandinavia. There has been considerable debate as to whether or not the cardiorespiratory machanisms are seriously stressed by a moderately lowered capacity for oxygen transport. The research objective was to study quantitatively...
Although there were no effects of iron deficiency per se, the data suggested that decreased caloric intake experienced early in life may have different long-term consequences for males and females. While ad lib control males, and females in all diet conditions, exhibited less elevation of plasma ...
Iron deficiency is the most common etiology of anemia in athletes. Both inadequate iron intake and blood loss can be the cause.Iron deficiency anemiacan be asymptomatic at rest with hemoglobin levels between 11–11.9 g/dl, but can affect athletic performance at high levels of intensity. Symptoms...
Hence, iron deficiency (ID) is anticipated to limit exercise capacity. We investigated whether ID predicted exercise intolerance in patients with systolic chronic heart failure (CHF). We prospectively studied 443 patients with stable systolic CHF (age 54 ± 10 years, males 90%, ejection fraction ...
