Influence of adiposity on the prevalence of iron deficiency in women of reproductive age: data from the UK National Diet and Nutrition Survey 2008-2019 (NDNS)

Overweight/obesity and iron deficiency are highly prevalent, particularly in women of reproductive age (WRA)(1). Both can seriously affect women’s health and cause severe complications in pregnancy(1). Obesity is associated with nutritional deficiencies but its influence on iron deficiency is unclea...

Zusammenfassung:Overweight/obesity and iron deficiency are highly prevalent, particularly in women of reproductive age (WRA)(1). Both can seriously affect women’s health and cause severe complications in pregnancy(1). Obesity is associated with nutritional deficiencies but its influence on iron deficiency is unclear. This study aimed to investigate the influence of adiposity on the prevalence of iron deficiency in UK women of reproductive age. Data from NDNS (years 2008-2019) was used including general characteristics, anthropometry, iron biomarkers; haemoglobin (Hb), ferritin, and C-reactive protein (CRP) as a marker of inflammation. WRA aged 18-49 years with BMI ≥18.5kg/m2 were included. Data were categorised as follows: Anaemia: Hb
