Presentation
This study demonstrates that increased iron consumption during pregnancy may improve infant birth weight for mothers who are GSTM1-present, but it might not be beneficial for mothers with the GSTM1-null genotype. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Vitolo & Borlolini 8 presented the data for this method considering cooked meat amounts, a method repeated by the present study. [scielo.br]
Treatment
RESULTS: Double fortified salt improved dietary iron intake in the treatment group compared to the control group ( P < .001). No other dietary or anthropometric differences could be attributed to treatment. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Types of treatment for anemia Treatment of anemia may depend on what type of anemia the patient has. (1-6)– Iron deficiency anemia treatment This usually involves taking iron supplements to replace the lack of intake of iron in diet or excess loss of [news-medical.net]

But they stated in this study that they believe treating iron deficiency enhances treatment for hair loss. This makes sense, as all the nutrients in your body work in synergy to keep your cells healthy including your hair follicles. [fitday.com]
Etiology
Abstract Oxidative stress resulting from excess reactive oxygen species and/or deficiencies in antioxidant capabilities may play a role in breast cancer etiology. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
A better understanding of the etiology of anaemia (e.g. malaria endemnicity, haemoglobinopathies) and the prevalence of risk factors is needed at the country level, to inform context-specific adaptations of this recommendation. [who.int]
In the understanding of iron-deficiency anemia as a nutritional deficiency of multifactorial etiology, it is important to consider dietary factors as one of its main determinants. [scielo.br]

Prevention
Culturally sensitive intervention research, which addresses application of IDA education principles, temporary supplementation, and adequate income for dietary modification and long-term iron supplementation to prevent IDA is warranted. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Other factors that prevent or enhance iron absorption might have a bigger impact on iron levels than dietary and supplemental iron. [selfhacked.com]
Prevention of anemia Prevention of anemia (4): In infants and preschool children anemia can be prevented by encouraging exclusive breast feeding of infants (without supplementary liquids, water, formula or food) for four to six months after birth. [news-medical.net]
