Dietary Iron and the Elite Dancer
Nutrients, 2022 Dancers are an athlete population at high risk of developing iron deficiency (ID). The aesthetic nature of the discipline means dancers potentially utilise dietary restriction to meet physique goals. In combination with high training demands, this means dancers are susceptible to problems related to low energy availability (LEA), which impacts nutrient

, 2022 Iron metabolism differs from the metabolism of other metals in that there is no physiologic mechanism for iron excretion, it is unusual; approximately 90% of daily iron needs are obtained from an endogenous source, the breakdown of circulating RBCs. Additionally humans derive iron from their everyday diet, predominantly from plant foods and the rest ...

Iron status and dietary iron intake in vegetarians [PDF]
Advances in Clinical and Experimental Medicine, 2018 Iron is one of the nutrients that require special consideration in a plant-based diet. The widespread belief is that meat is the best source of iron and a vegetarian diet increases the risk of its deficiency. This conviction has been the subject of analysis in a growing number of scientific reports.The aim of this study was to assess the iron intake ...

Prediction of dietary iron absorption: an algorithm for calculating absorption and bioavailability of dietary iron [PDF]
The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 2000 Dietary iron absorption from a meal is determined by iron status, heme- and nonheme-iron contents, and amounts of various dietary factors that influence iron absorption. Limited information is available about the net effect of these factors.The objective was to develop an algorithm for predicting the effects of factors known to influence heme- and ...

Role of Dietary Flavonoids in Iron Homeostasis [PDF]
Pharmaceuticals, 2019 Balancing systemic iron levels within narrow limits is critical for human health, as both iron deficiency and overload lead to serious disorders. There are no known physiologically controlled pathways to eliminate iron from the body and therefore iron homeostasis is maintained by modifying dietary iron absorption.

Iron intake and dietary sources of iron in Flemish adolescents [PDF]
European Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 2005 To investigate the dietary iron intake and food sources of iron in Flemish adolescents.Cross-sectional survey; dietary assessment method: a 7-day estimated food record.Private and public secondary schools in Ghent, a city in the Dutch-speaking part of Belgium.A total of 341 adolescents (129 boys and 212 girls), 13-18 y, randomly selected by a ...

Dietary iron intake, iron status, and gestational diabetes [PDF]
The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 2017 Pregnant women are particularly vulnerable to iron deficiency and related adverse pregnancy outcomes and, as such, are routinely recommended for iron supplementation. Emerging evidence from both animal and population-based studies, however, has raised potential concerns because significant associations have been observed between greater iron stores and

Iron bioavailability and dietary reference values [PDF]
The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 2010 Iron differs from other minerals because iron balance in the human body is regulated by absorption only because there is no physiologic mechanism for excretion. On the basis of intake data and isotope studies, iron bioavailability has been estimated to be in the range of 14-18% for mixed diets and 5-12% for vegetarian diets in subjects with no iron ...

Dietary iron deficiency and sports anaemia [PDF]
British Journal of Nutrition, 1992 In order to determine whether dietary inadequacies can explain the sub-optimal iron status widely documented in endurance-trained athletes, the food intake records of Fe-deficient and Fe-replete distance runners and non-exercising controls of both sexes were analysed.

Top dietary iron sources in the UK [PDF]
British Journal of General Practice, 2014 Iron deficiency carries substantial risks, including anaemia and transfusional requirements; suboptimal immune, skeletal muscle, and thyroid function; prematurity; poor maternal and perinatal outcomes in pregnancy; and impaired motor and cognitive development in children.1 The reference nutrient intake (RNI) for iron is 8.7 mg/day for men and ...
