Women experience significant changes in iron status throughout their reproductive
lifespans. While this is evident in regions with high rates of malnutrition and infectious …

Low-grade inflammation is often present in people living with obesity. Inflammation can
impact iron uptake and metabolism through elevation of hepcidin levels. Obesity is a major …

OBJECTIVE Increased serum ferritin levels and iron stores may be involved in the
development of abnormal glucose tolerance in women presenting with obesity and/or …

Background: The correction of serum ferritin (SF) concentrations for inflammation because of
infectious or parasitic diseases was recently proposed, especially in developing countries …

During human pregnancy, iron requirements gradually increase, leading to higher amounts
of erythropoietin (EPO) and reticulocytes, and changes in erythrocyte size and density …

Background Iron deficiency and overload may negatively impact women's health. There has
been limited assessment of iron status and its associated factors among Canadian women …

Ferritin levels have been associated with metabolic syndrome and insulin resistance. The
aim of the present study was to evaluate the prediction of ferritin levels by variables related …

Background Whether maternal iron status during pregnancy is associated with
cardiometabolic health in the offspring is poorly known. Objectives We aimed to assess the …

Objectives Iron deficiency (ID) in women of reproductive age can negatively impact women's
health, pregnancy outcomes and the health and development of their infants. Disparities in …

Background and Aims When pregnancy occurs in obese women, two opposite mechanisms
for iron homeostasis concur: increased need for available iron to support erythropoiesis and …
