The relationship between plasma ferritin levels and body mass index among adolescents.

摘要: Circulatory Ferritin concentration varies with age, sex, and body composition. Studies that determine the relationship of different weight measurements plasma ferritin in adolescents are lacking. A descriptive cross-sectional design was utilized. Data collection involved self-reporting demographics, blood samples, composition measures for a sample 814 healthy Jordanian adolescents. deficiency observed 55.8% study population. Simple linear regression showed BMI, gender, location, smoking status 2.5%, 3.9%, 0.4%, respectively, associated positively level (p < 0.05). After controlling status, additional hierarchal multiple BMI explained 2.2% (p < 0.000). However, obesity-stratified regression, 2.1% overweight obese (HI) (p = 0.02), but not under normal (LO) (p = 0.91). ANCOVA greater (p < 0.000) HI (19.00 ± 13.6) versus LO (15.20 ± 10.4) obesity group. Our results indicated among people does necessarily indicate iron storage.
