Summary: The study aimed to investigate the number and prevalence of patients indicated for intravenous iron treatment in a large Korean population. The results showed that the number of patients indicated for reimbursable intravenous iron treatment was higher in women, older patients, and in 2021 compared to 2019 (all p < 0.001). In 2019, the prevalence of patients indicated for reimbursable intravenous iron treatment was up to 30.0% in those >= 80 years of age. These findings provide basic knowledge for planning nutritional support programs using an intravenous iron formulation in Korea.

Summary: Anemia prevalence among children under five in Brazil is high, with government iron supplementation programs showing significant effects on reducing hospitalizations and lengths of stay due to iron-deficiency anemia, especially in non-poor areas. The programs complement each other but do not influence mortality rates, indicating a need for operational improvements to achieve better outcomes in reducing severe iron-deficiency anemia among children under four.

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: The prevalence of iron deficiency anemia and related mortality rates in the US increased between 1999 and 2018, likely due to a decline in dietary iron intake, a decrease in iron concentration in US food products, and a shift in dietary patterns.

Summary: This study assessed the feasibility of anemia, iron deficiency, and iron-deficiency anemia surveillance among first-trimester pregnancies using electronic health records. It found that approximately 2.7% of pregnancies had anemia, with about half of those cases having both low hemoglobin and low hematocrit. Iron deficiency was present in approximately 26.8% of pregnancies with anemia and 23.5% of pregnancies without anemia.

Summary: Despite comparable treatment efficacy for iron deficiency anaemia, FCM was associated with a higher incidence of hypophosphataemia compared to FDI. Further studies are needed to investigate the long-term clinical consequences of hypophosphataemia and the mechanisms underlying the differential effects of FCM and FDI on patient-reported fatigue.

Summary: The feasibility of monitoring anemia, iron deficiency, and iron-deficiency anemia among pregnant women using electronic health records has been assessed. This method can be used to monitor the prevalence and trends of anemia in pregnant women, but obtaining representative estimates of iron deficiency or iron-deficiency anemia may be challenging if iron assessment is not routine.

Summary: The complementary feeding period between 6 and 24 months is crucial for infant nutrition and development, especially in addressing iron deficiency and anemia. Healthcare providers should follow guidelines to ensure adequate iron intake and address iron deficiency in infants during this critical period.

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: Antenatal multiple micronutrient supplements (MMS) are more effective than iron and folic acid (IFA) supplements in reducing adverse pregnancy outcomes. MMS can also effectively prevent anemia, especially in areas with low daily iron intake and high anemia prevalence.

Summary: The study found that the rate of CO decreased over time and age-at-death, regardless of sex or status; post-medieval individuals were similar to 72% less likely to die with lesions than their medieval counterparts. Additionally, individuals with CO had a similar to 1% decrease in risk of dying with CO per year of age.

Summary: This study found that the adverse effects induced by the primary metabolite of methoxychlor, HPTE, on embryonic thymocytes may not solely rely on estrogen receptors, but may require both ER alpha and GPER. Additionally, there may be a collaborative signaling mechanism between TCR and estrogen receptors that mediate adverse effects on embryonic thymocytes, highlighting a window of sensitivity that modulates EDC exposure severity.

Summary: Chronic stress does not directly impact bone health through inflammation, but rather through factors like access to healthcare and overall health which contribute to the development of osteoporosis. Various determinants across demographics, psychology, health, and other domains were found to be associated with osteoporosis, with good predictive accuracy in the developed models. High-sensitivity C-reactive protein was not identified as a significant factor in osteoporosis diagnosis.

Summary: This paper explores the relationship between social determinants and accelerated aging through chronic stress and inflammatory responses. Contrary to expectations, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) is not associated with shortened telomeres, with factors like access to healthcare, frailty, and social inequality instead predicting decreased telomere length.

Summary: This research examines the relationship between linear enamel hypoplasia (LEH) and stature in medieval and postmedieval London cemeteries. The results show a significant association between the presence of LEH and femur length in males, with no temporal change in the relationship between different cemeteries. The study also suggests that males may be more affected by environmental stressors in childhood than females.

Summary: This study identifies health insurance coverage as a determinant of osteoporosis diagnoses in older adults, highlighting the presence of health inequities. The research shows that underdiagnosing is more likely among older adults identifying as Black/African American and as males without a bone scan, potentially due to structural racism and sexism. Models including a bone scan demonstrate a reduction in disparities. These findings emphasize the importance of addressing barriers to accessing a bone scan in order to tackle health inequities in older adults.

Summary: The study of the medieval Nubian cemeteries at Kulubnarti shows that the S cemetery may have been used for subadults and/or had a monastic presence, rather than reflecting genetic differences due to SES disparities. Regression analysis on age-at-death distribution indicates a significantly higher likelihood of infants and other subadults being buried in the S cemetery.
