Objective Serum ferritin, a marker of iron metabolism, has recently emerged as a biomarker
of chronic low-grade inflammation. After menopause, there is a remarkable increase in …

Background Frailty is a significant concern in the field of public health. However, currently,
there is a lack of widely recognized and reliable biological markers for frailty. This study aims …

Background In the presence of inflammation, the serum or plasma ferritin concentration
(“ferritin” hereafter) transiently increases, confounding its interpretation as an iron status …

BACKGROUND It is unknown why increased plasma ferritin concentration predicts all-cause
mortality. As low-grade inflammation and increased plasma ferritin concentration are …

Background: Iron overload influences negatively on bone mineral density (BMD) but the
results of studies regarding serum ferritin (SF) and BMD are conflicting. This study aimed to …

Background and Objectives Chronic inflammation can lead to anaemia of chronic disease
due to the sequestration of iron caused by inflammatory cytokines and the protein hepcidin …

Background Iron deficiency anemia (IDA) is the most common type of anemia worldwide and
has many adverse effects on life quality. This meta-analysis study aims to show that …

Background A better understanding of the level-grade inflammation for the development and
worsening of heart failure (HF) in different gender groups is an unmet need. We performed …

Background: We aim to investigate whether the neutrophil-to-serum iron ratio (N/SI) is a
promising biomarker for acute myocardial infarction group (AMI) and Gensini score …

Abstract Background Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a pathological condition characterized
by the abnormal clustering of several metabolic components and has become a major public …
