Summary: Women living with HIV have a higher prevalence of anemia during the third trimester of pregnancy, with anemia being associated with a higher risk of preterm births. These findings emphasize the importance of addressing underlying factors and clinical outcomes of anemia in this population.

Summary: Pregnancy requires higher levels of nutrients, including iron, for the growth and maintenance of the fetus. Iron deficiency during pregnancy can lead to serious health issues, making iron supplementation essential for pregnant women. Studies suggest that lactoferrin can be an effective prophylaxis and treatment for iron deficiency anemia during pregnancy, offering various beneficial effects on iron homeostasis and overall health.

Summary: Since mandatory fortification of grain products with folic acid in 1998, folate deficiency has become rare in the United States. However, at an urban safety net hospital, serum folate testing detected deficiency at a higher rate and folate supplementation was commonly prescribed upon discharge.

Summary: Cerebral folate deficiency syndrome is a neuropsychiatric or developmental disorder characterized by decreased CSF folate levels while having normal folate status outside the nervous system. Early recognition and intervention are crucial for improving prognosis.

Summary: Iron deficiency (ID) is a common disorder with low serum ferritin level. Transferrin saturation (TSAT) is the best indicator of iron status in early pregnancy or chronic inflammation. The guidelines do not recommend routine screening for ID, but urgent review is needed. Oral iron is associated with adverse effects, while intravenous iron is safer and more effective, especially for pregnant women with hemoglobin levels below 10.5 g/dL.

Summary: Vitamin B-12, folate, iron deficiency, chronic kidney disease, and anemia of inflammation are common causes of anemia in the elderly. WHO criteria for nutritional deficiencies do not account for aging-related changes, highlighting the need for age-specific standards. A study on Polish seniors revealed a significant number of unexplained anemia cases, emphasizing the importance of tailored diagnostic criteria for nutrient deficiency in older populations.

Summary: Folate deficiency is common in Slovenia, with low folate intake observed in various age groups. Public health strategies are needed to promote the consumption of folate-rich foods and supplementation with folic acid may be necessary in specific vulnerable populations.

Summary: Iron deficiency and iron deficiency anemia are highly prevalent among women in their reproductive age, but are still underdiagnosed and undertreated. This condition has a negative impact on the physical and emotional well-being of women, including heavy menstrual bleeding, pregnancy, and the postpartum period.

Summary: This systematic review aimed to determine the prevalence and risk factors of anemia and iron deficiency among pregnant women in Malaysia. The findings showed a high prevalence of anemia in pregnancy and iron deficiency among the pregnant women in Malaysia, with significant associations with factors such as reproductive age, antenatal booking, ethnicity, educational level, income, and employment. However, further research is needed to explore other nutritional deficiencies that may contribute to anemia in pregnancy.

Summary: Over 50% of pregnant women suffer from anemia, mainly due to iron deficiency. Micronutrient deficiency, heavy menstrual bleeding in nonpregnant individuals, and blood loss during pregnancy and delivery all contribute to iron deficiency. Low maternal iron levels can have negative impacts on both the pregnancy and the offspring. Single-dose intravenous iron supplementation may be a better option for correcting iron deficiency and iron deficiency anemia in pregnant and prepregnant populations, potentially improving outcomes. By harmonizing major randomized controlled trials comparing single-dose IV iron with oral iron, changes in the global trajectory of iron deficiency/anemia for women and girls of reproductive age could be suggested.

Summary: In a study conducted in Malawi, the use of a modern intravenous iron formulation, ferric carboxymaltose, for treating anemia in pregnant women did not reduce the prevalence of anemia at 36 weeks' gestation or increase birthweight as expected.

Summary: In a rat model, exposure to rat folate receptor alpha antibodies during gestation leads to the accumulation of FR alpha Ab in the placenta and fetus, blocking folate transport to the fetal brain and causing behavioral deficits in the offspring. Administering folinic acid can prevent these deficits. This study aimed to investigate the effects of FR alpha Ab on folate transport in the brain of young rat pups to gain insight into the autoimmune disorder associated with cerebral folate deficiency in autism spectrum disorders.

Summary: In this study conducted in urban settings of Dakar, the relationship between vitamin A supplementation and liver stores (VALS) as well as vitamin A deficiency (VAD) in 9-23 month-old children was examined. The results showed that vitamin A supplementation did not lead to improved VALS, serum retinol concentrations (SR), or reduce the prevalence of VAD in children with adequate VALS.

Summary: The study proposed the use of 2D geometric morphometric techniques to analyze the relationship between children's morphological changes and nutritional status, identifying significant factors such as nutritional status, age, and gender. Discriminant functions constructed in the study achieved the best classification rates in the left arm, providing insights into the morphological patterns influenced by nutritional status during the first 5 years of growth and development in children.

Summary: This study revealed a strong association between maternal and child body composition in early life, with children's nutritional status mainly determined by diet. Among mothers, having a job and being involved in primary health care appeared to be beneficial for nutritional status. Improving women's empowerment, quality of health care, and dietary diversity could positively impact maternal and child nutrition.
