Abstract

Overweight is increasing in transition countries, while iron deficiency remains common. In industrialized countries, greater adiposity increases risk of iron deficiency. Higher hepcidin levels in obesity may reduce dietary iron absorption. Therefore, we investigated the association between body mass index (BMI) and iron absorption, iron status and the response to iron fortification in populations from three transition countries (Thailand, Morocco and India). In Thai women (n=92), we examined the relationship between BMI and iron absorption from a reference meal containing approximately 4 mg of isotopically labeled fortification iron. We analyzed data from baseline (n=1688) and intervention (n=727) studies in children in Morocco and India to look for associations between BMI Z-scores and baseline hemoglobin, serum ferritin and transferrin receptor, whole blood zinc protoporphyrin and body iron stores, and changes in these measures after provision of iron. In the Thai women, 20% were iron deficient and 22% were overweight. Independent of iron status, a higher BMI Z-score was associated with decreased iron absorption (P=0.030). In the Indian and Moroccan children, 42% were iron deficient and 6.3% were overweight. A higher BMI Z-sc...Continue Reading
