Background The longitudinal association between iron deficiency and inflammatory
biomarkers levels has not been fully explored among relatively healthy older adults. Aims To …

A comprehensive literature review of iron status in the elderly was undertaken in order to
update a previous review (Fairweather-Tait et al, 2014); 138 summarised papers describe …

Background and aim Iron deficiency is associated with increased morbidity and mortality in
older adults. However, data on its prevalence and incidence among older adults is limited …

BACKGROUND AND AIM: Ferritin level is decreased in iron deficiency (ID) and increased in
inflammation as an acute-phase reacting protein. In the case of inflammation ferritin, level …

Background Iron deficiency (ID) is associated with negative health outcomes in older adults.
However, data on the impact of ID on the number of hospitalizations and length of hospital …

Iron is involved in many types of metabolism, including oxygen transport in hemoglobin. Iron
deficiency (ID), ie a decrease in circulating iron, can have severe consequences. We …

Objective To investigate the association between iron deficiency status and depressive
symptoms in a national community sample of older people. Methods Cross-sectional data …

Background Older people are at risk of micronutrient deficiencies, which can be under-or
overestimated in the presence of inflammation. Several methods have been proposed to …

Background Diagnosing iron deficiency is challenging in the presence of systemic
inflammation. Aim To investigate the relationship between plasma C-reactive protein (CRP) …

OBJECTIVE: The association between serum iron status, cardiovascular disease (CVD), and
all-cause mortality remains controversial in the elderly. In the present study, we aim to …
