Abstract:

The purpose: Reproductive women with iron deficiency anemia (DEA) is frequently observed. 25-hydroxivitamine D [25-(OH)D] deficiency is common in people with DEA. The effect of the 25-(OH)D deficiency that is associated with low ferritin on bone mineral intensity (KMY) should be discussed. This study was done to evaluate the effect of serum ferritin deficiency in reproductive women on 25-(OH)D levels and the relationship between PMI. The study included a control group of 140 women in the reproductive period with ferritin levels <15 ng/mL (15-25 years old, 25-35 years old, 3 groups 35-45 years old) and 50 healthy women. The level of vitamin D is sufficient if 25-(OH)D>30,0 ng/mL, if 25-(OH)D≥20,0, if <30,0 ng/mL, if vitamin D is deficient, if 25-(OH)D <20 ng/mL, if vitamin D is deficient, and if <10 ng/mL is severely deficient, if vitamin D is deficient. Femur neck and lombary spine KMY were measured by double-energy X-ray absorption meters. Z-score was used for the diagnosis of KMY. The Z score <-2 was estimated as "with a lower KMY than expected" and >-2 was estimated as "the expected bone density for age". The average age of patients and healthy controls was 34±10 and 29±9 years. Serum 25-(OH)D levels were low enough to make a significant difference in the patient group (p<0,01). In low ferritin groups, there was low-intensity KMY (p>0,05). Result: Low levels of vitamin D found in reproductive women with anemia cause low KMY.
