“…Only a few studies have investigated associations between iron status and the timing of foods consumption [46,76,77] or different combinations of foods eaten at mealtimes [84]. In a small study ( n = 15) of women with learning difficulties who lived in an institutionalized setting, those who had depleted iron stores (SF < 12 µg/L) had a significantly higher tea and lower ascorbic acid intake at meal times [46] compared to women who had higher iron stores (SF > 12 µg/L).…”

These women’s diets were likely to be more prescribed than those of women living independently, where a range of foods are consumed in a variety of combinations across the day [84]. Mennen et al .…”

“…Using a non-validated questionnaire, Beck et al . [84] found women with sufficient iron stores (SF ≥ 20 µg/L) were more likely to consume milk or milk products between meals compared with women who had suboptimal iron status (SF < 20 µg/L). The consumption of other foods and beverages in various combinations at meals and in between meals was not associated with iron status.…”

“…The consumption of other foods and beverages in various combinations at meals and in between meals was not associated with iron status. Despite including 375 women, the sample size may not have been large enough to detect associations between iron status and all possible combinations of foods and beverages consumed [84]. Further research is needed to investigate the relationship between timing of food and beverage intake and iron status.…”

Dietary Determinants of and Possible Solutions to Iron Deficiency for Young Women Living in Industrialized Countries: A Review

Iron deficiency is a concern in both developing and developed (industrialized) countries; and young women are particularly vulnerable. This review investigates dietary determinants of and possible solutions to iron deficiency in young women living in industrialized countries. Dietary factors including ascorbic acid and an elusive factor in animal protein foods (meat; fish and poultry) enhance iron absorption; while phytic acid; soy protein; calcium and polyphenols inhibit iron absorption. However; the effects of these dietary factors on iron absorption do not necessarily translate into an association with iron status and iron stores (serum ferritin concentration). In cross-sectional studies; only meat intake has consistently (positively) been associated with higher serum ferritin concentrations. The enhancing effects of ascorbic acid and meat on iron absorption may be negated by the simultaneous consumption of foods and nutrients which are inhibitory. Recent cross-sectional studies have considered the combination and timing of foods consumed; with mixed results. Dietary interventions using a range of focused dietary measures to improve iron status appear to be more effective than dietary approaches that focus on single nutrients or foods. Further research is needed to determine optimal dietary recommendations for both the prevention and treatment of iron deficiency.

“…Dietary Fe intake was not significantly lower in SA but it is likely to be coming from non-haem sources and therefore is not as bioavailable. Having an 'Asian dietary pattern' has been found to be a risk factor for suboptimal Fe status in women of childbearing age (40) . However, the results of our study seem to imply that (4) and Australian research (41) , Ca intakes were lower among SA males and ESEA males and females compared with NZEO.…”

Objective: To investigate similarities and differences in dietary habits, nutrient intakes and health outcomes of South Asians (SA) and East and South-East Asians (ESEA) and the New Zealand European and Other (NZEO) group, and to examine differences within 'Asian' subgroups according to duration of residence. Design: Nutrient intake data from 24 h diet recalls and data from the dietary habits questionnaire, anthropometry and biochemical analyses from the cross-sectional 2008/09 Adult National Nutrition Survey in New Zealand were compared for participants categorized as SA, ESEA and NZEO. Subjects: Adults aged 15 years and older (n 2995). Setting: New Zealand households. Results: SA were more likely to 'never' eat red meat in comparison to NZEO (P < 0·001) and among females also in comparison to ESEA (P < 0·05). Intakes of fats and some micronutrients (riboflavin, vitamin B 6 , B 12 , Se) were lower among SA than NZEO (P < 0·05). Lower intakes of Zn and vitamin B 12 were reported by SA females compared with ESEA and NZEO females (P < 0·05). A higher percentage of SA were obese using ethnic-specific cut-offs, had lower indices of Fe status and reported diagnosed diabetes compared with NZEO and ESEA. Recent SA male migrants had higher intakes of β-carotene, vitamin C and Ca compared with long-term migrants (P < 0·05). Conclusions:The results of the present study indicate that dietary habits, nutrient intakes, blood profile and body size differ significantly between Asian subgroups. It also provides some evidence for changes in dietary intakes according to duration of residence especially for SA males.
