Abstract : Iron deficiency is recognized as a significant health concern for women of childbearing age in the civilian population. In the military most women are of childbearing age. Not only do they carry the normal risks for developing iron deficiency but they also have the added threats of possible decreased choices of food high in iron content increased physical activity and weight loss. This can put these women at risk for decreased energy efficiency and impaired cognitive performance. This article describes the pathophysiology of iron deficiency and iron deficiency anemia the consequences of each and the need to routinely screen military women for iron depletion.Published by Elsevier Inc.PMID 20510697 PubMed - indexed for MEDLINEMeSH Terms SubstancesMeSH TermsAltitudeAnemia Iron-Deficiency*/complicationsAnemia Iron-Deficiency*/diagnosisAnemia Iron-Deficiency*/epidemiologyAnemia Iron-Deficiency*/therapyCognitionEmotionsFemaleHealth Services Needs and DemandHumansIntestinal AbsorptionIron/physiologyMass ScreeningMilitary NursingMilitary Personnel*/statistics amp numerical dataNurses RolePatient Education as TopicPhysical FitnessPrevalencePsychomotor PerformanceRisk FactorsUnited States/epidemiologyWomen Working*/statistics amp numerical dataSubstancesIronLinkOut - more resourcesFull Text SourcesElsevier ScienceW.B.
