  2. Iron deficiency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron_deficiency

    Iron deficiency, or sideropenia, is the state in which a body lacks enough iron to supply its needs. Iron is present in all cells in the human body and has several vital functions, such as carrying oxygen to the tissues from the lungs as a key component of the hemoglobin protein, acting as a transport medium for electrons within the cells in the form of cytochromes, and facilitating oxygen ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron-deficiency_anemia

    For children, a high intake of cow's milk is associated with an increased risk of iron-deficiency anemia. [35] Other risk factors include low meat intake and low intake of iron-fortified products. [35] The National Academy of Medicine updated Estimated Average Requirements (EAR) and Recommended Dietary Allowances (RDA) in 2001. The current EAR ...

    The normal range for hemoglobin is 13.8 to 17.2 grams per deciliter (g/dL) for men and 12.1 to 15.1 g/dL for women. [6] Low hemoglobin indicates anemia but the individual will be normal for LID. [5] Normal serum iron is between 60 and 170 micrograms per dL (μg/dL). [7] Normal total iron-binding capacity for both sexes is 240 to 450 μg/dL. [6]

    An analysis of data from more than 8,000 adults in the U.S. revealed that 14% had low iron blood levels, a condition known as absolute iron deficiency, while 15% had the right iron levels but ...

  6. Anemia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anemia

    Iron deficiency due to inadequate dietary iron intake is rare in men and postmenopausal women. The diagnosis of iron deficiency mandates a search for potential sources of blood loss, such as gastrointestinal bleeding from ulcers or colon cancer. [citation needed] Mild to moderate iron-deficiency anemia is treated by oral iron supplementation ...

    The NHANES III survey found that anemia affects 10.2% of women and 11% of men over 65, with prevalence increasing with age. Low iron levels not only decrease quality of life but are also associated with depression, fatigue, cognitive impairment, and muscle wasting.

  8. Total iron-binding capacity - Wikipedia

    Studies also revealed that a transferrin saturation (serum iron concentration ÷ total iron binding capacity) over 60 percent in men and over 50 percent in women identified the presence of an abnormality in iron metabolism (hereditary hemochromatosis, heterozygotes and homozygotes) with approximately 95 percent accuracy.

  9. Nutritional anemia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nutritional_anemia

    Anemia is a deficiency in the size or number of red blood cells or in the amount of hemoglobin they contain. [1] This deficiency limits the exchange of O 2 and CO 2 between the blood and the tissue cells. [1] Globally, young children, women, and older adults are at the highest risk of developing anemia. [1]
