There was a gradual decrease in the RRs of CAD, cardiovascular disease, and all-cause mortality with increasing serum iron levels (all tests for trend, p <0.05). Men in the highest iron quartile were one fifth as likely to die of CAD as men in the lowest iron quartile (RR 0.22; 95%...
Recent studies suggest that elevated body iron levels may contribute to breast carcinogenesis; however, epidemiologic evidence is lacking. We used data from a large cohort study of Canadian women to assess breast cancer in association with total iron and heme iron intake. Among 49,654 women ages ...
(sFer) levels of male (n= 350) and female (n= 126) basketball and football players, aged 11–18, from two sport medicine centers in Israel were gathered and analyzed. Mild ID was defined as sFer ≤ 30 µg/L, moderate as sFer ≤ 20 µg/L, and severe as sFer ≤ 10 µg/L...
A physical activity questionnaire—short form (IPAQSF) Spanish version was used to assess the levels of physical activity [42,43]. To ascertain Fe intake, all participants completed the nutritional survey. The survey consisted of a 4-day daily nutritional record for three working days and one ...

And we’ve had a surprising number of InsideTracker users discover they have it because of high ferritin levels. High ferritin is considered greater than 200 ng/mL in women and more than 300 ng/mL in men. To decrease levels, reduce dietary iron and consider donating blood regularly, ...
Relation of nutrition to bone lead and blood lead levels in middle-aged to elderly men. The Normative Aging Study. The relations of nutritional factors to lead accumulation in the body were examined cross-sectionally among 747 men aged 49-93 years (mean 67 years) in the... Y Cheng,WC ...
The effect of large doses of iron (100 mg. of iron a day as ferrous sulphate or ferric ammonium citrate) on normal haemoglobin levels has been investigated. This has scarcely altered the haemoglobin percentages of men, but has increased the values for women by 4–17 per cent, and a mean...
Mean serum ferritin for women in the study group (28.02 ± 25.00 ng/mL) was significantly lower than for women in the control group (56.35 ± 34.03 ng/mL, P = 0.014). Similarly, men in the study group had a lower mean serum ferritin (48.57 ± 45.17 ng/mL) than men in the control...
"Men are not safe, especially if they don't eatmeat and have a high level of physical activity." (An estimated 15 percent of male long distance runnershave low iron stores.) Beard and other experts say it's advisable for people in these groups to have ayearly blood test to check blood...
