“…This is because exercise training can increase the total haemoglobin and red blood cells, which results in enhancing the oxygen carrying capacity of blood. Bone marrow stimulated erythropoiesis with hyperplasia of hematopoietic bone marrow and improvement of hematopoietic microenvironment are possible in underlying conditions as reported by Engy.M.et.al 8 . The need to increase oxygen during exercise can provoke hematopoietic cells to produce more oxygen carriers.…”

“…However, researchers have found that high dose usage of such medications is frequently associated with adverse effects such as nausea or constipation. Intermittent supplementation has been proposed as an effective and safer alternative to daily supplementation 8 . Hence, this study intended to analyse the effects of non-expensive therapies with nil side-effects for improving the haemoglobin level in females.…”

Haemoglobin is a conjugate iron containing protein molecule in red blood cells that carries oxygen from the lungs to the body tissues and returns carbon dioxide from the tissues back to the lungs during all body functions. In India, anaemia is a widespread condition, due to lack of haemoglobin in children, non-pregnant women, and pregnant women. Anaemia increases the risk of death during pregnancy and leads to fatigue, poor motor and mental performance in adolescent girls. Recent literature also suggests an independent association of chronic anaemia with increased mortality in a variety of conditions including chronic kidney disease, heart failure, acute coronary syndromes and acute stroke. Hence, it is necessary to prevent the occurrence and progression of anaemia from mild to a severe form in young girls. Although the current medical management is effective in improving the Hb level, researches have found few adverse effects due to the high dose usage of such medications. Thus, this study intended to investigate the effects of aerobic exercise versus yoga along with diet supplement on the haemoglobin level. 20 female collegiate between 17 to 22 years with a BMI range of 20-25 kg/m 2 and haemoglobin level from 8 to 11.5g/dl participated in this study. 10 subjects in Group A performed moderate intensity aerobic exercise and 10 subjects in Group B performed yoga asanas for 1 hour in the morning for 2 months after taking 5 grams jaggery and raisins. The result of this study suggested that both aerobic activity and yoga asanas along with raisins and jaggery helped to speed up the Hb synthesis and reduce mental and physical fatigue.

“…A 2019 systematic review revealed that intermittent iron supplementation reduced the risk of having anemia (risk ratio (RR) 0.65, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.49-0.87) and improved the concentrations of hemoglobin (mean difference (MD) 5.19 g/L, CI 3.-07-7.32) and ferritin (MD 7.46 μg/L, CI 5.02-9.90). Women receiving iron supplements intermittently were also less likely to have less adverse side effects (RR 0.41, CI 0.21-0.82) [23]. Again, the main limitation of this study was that the review primarily targeted women and could not be generalized to men.…”

Introduction: Iron deficiency anemia is a major problem worldwide treated by replenishment of iron stores. The treatment is complicated by differing pharmacodynamics of administrative routes, equations with design effects, ongoing losses, additional daily requirement, plateauing of markers required for iron absorption, food-drug interactions, gender, and age. Accounting for these factors in one dosing regimen becomes difficult, specifically in males. This review aimed at analyzing multiple dosages of iron supplements in different studies and determining if there are factors that could individualize treatment in male patients. Methods: A scoping review was performed using PubMed, Google Scholar, and ClinicalTrials. gov. We reviewed literature from 1980 to 2020. The keywords used in the review were 'iron deficiency', 'dosage', 'males', and 'standardized'. Results and conclusions:The review included 1507 male participants from 9 major studies (4 clinical trials, 1 systematic review, 2 prospective and 2 descriptive studies). In the case of males, differences in lean body weight, and factors affecting absorption of iron also need to be considered. In order to thoroughly explore the issues in treatment of iron deficiency anemia, randomized controlled trials are required to investigate the frequency of dosing, impact of vitamin C and proper counselling, and weight changes in male participants.

“…Una revisión sistemática de Cochrane muestra que la suplementación intermitente con hierro solo (≥60 mg de hierro elemental semanal) o en combinación con otros micronutrientes reduce significativamente la frecuencia de anemia y mejora las reservas de hierro en mujeres premenopáusicas. La evidencia de esta intervención es débil debido a la calidad de los estudios disponibles (38) .…”

Introducción: Los trastornos del metabolismo del hierro son condiciones patológicas muy frecuentes. La deficiencia de hierro, con o sin anemia, se estima que afecta a más de 2 billones de personas. El objetivo de este estudio fue determinar la prevalencia de deficiencia de hierro y anemia y los factores predisponentes en un grupo de mujeres premenopáusicas, estudiantes universitarias de la Facultad de Medicina de la Universidad de la República en Uruguay. Métodos: Se realizó un estudio observacional de corte transversal donde se incluyeron mujeres en edad reproductiva estudiantes universitarias de la Facultad de Medicina. Se les realizó una entrevista con el objetivo de recabar los datos clínicos y se registró el volumen menstrual mensual a través de un pictograma. Se realizó un hemograma y se determinaron los niveles de ferritina. Resultados: Se incluyeron 196 mujeres de 18 a 37 años. La prevalencia de ferropenia fue 8.7% (n=17) y la prevalencia de anemia fue de 2.1% (n=4). La presencia de ferropenia se asoció a un menor consumo de carne roja (p=0.024), a un mayor volumen menstrual (p=0.018) y a una mayor frecuencia de sangrado uterino anormal (p=0,019). Conclusión: Este estudio pone de manifiesto la frecuencia elevada de deficiencia de hierro en mujeres sanas en relación con sangrado uterino anormal y bajo consumo de carne roja, lo que plantea la necesidad de implementar programas que promuevan medidas educativas a fin de promover la consulta precoz y evitar la anemia y ferropenia en estas mujeres en edad reproductiva.
