Foi realizado um estudo para avaliar o estado nutricional de ferro, envolvendo 47 estudantes universitários do sexo feminino, cujas dietas continham, em média, somente 72% da recomendação para o ferro. Os resultados mostram que apesar do baixo consumo do mineral, a concentração de hemoglobina e o valor do hematócrito encontravam-se dentro dos limites de normalidade. Em face disto, discute-se a possibilidade de as reservas orgânicas de ferro estarem baixas ou esgotadas.
A study to evaluate the iron nutritional status was carried out envolving 47 female university students, whose diets contained the average of 72% of the recommented dietary allowances of iron. The results show that, in spite of the low consumption of iron, the concentration of hemoglobin and the value of hematocrit was within the border line of normality. The possibility of the organic iron stores being minimal or absent is discussed.
