Abstract

The article presents a study on the relationship between iron status and self-perceived health, well-being, and fatigue in female university students in New Zealand. The researchers analyzed serum ferritin (SF), hemoglobin (Hb), and C-reactive protein (CRP) from a venipuncture blood sample. The study found that compared to women who were iron sufficient, women with iron depletion did not differ significantly in terms of self-perceived health, well-being, or fatigue.
