To assess the association between obesity and iron deficiency (ID).
Pregnant women were recruited from Saad Abualila Hospital, Khartoum, Sudan, during January-April 2015. Medical history (age, parity, gestational age) was gathered using questionnaire. Weight and height were measured, and body mass index (BMI) was calculated. Women were sub-grouped based on BMI into underweight (< 18.5 kg/m^2), normal weight (18.5-24.9 kg/m^2), overweight (25-29.9 kg/m^2) and obese (≥ 30 kg/m^2). Serum ferritin and red blood indices were measured in all studied women.
Two (0.5%), 126 (29.8%), 224 (53.0%) and 71 (16.8%) out of the 423 women were underweight, normal weight, overweight and obese, respectively. Anemia (Hb <11 g/dl), ID (ferritin <15µg/l) and iron deficiency anemia (IDA) were prevalent in 57.7%, 21.3% and 12.1%, respectively. Compared with the women with normal BMI, significantly fewer obese women were anemic [25 (35.2%) vs. 108 (85.7%), P < 0.001] and significantly higher number of obese women [25 (35.2) vs. 22 (17.5, P = 0.015] had iron deficiency. Linear regression analysis demonstrated a significant negative association between serum ferritin and BMI (- 0.010 µg/, P= 0.006).
It is evident from the current findings that prevalence of anaemia and ID showed different trends about BMI of pregnant women.
评估肥胖与缺铁(ID)之间的关联。
2015年1月至4月期间,从苏丹喀土穆的萨阿德·阿布阿利拉医院招募孕妇。通过问卷调查收集病史(年龄、产次、孕周)。测量体重和身高,并计算体重指数(BMI)。根据BMI将女性分为体重过轻(<18.5kg/m²)、正常体重(18.5 - 24.9kg/m²)、超重(25 - 29.9kg/m²)和肥胖(≥30kg/m²)亚组。对所有研究对象测定血清铁蛋白和红细胞指标。
423名女性中,分别有2名(0.5%)、126名(29.8%)、224名(53.0%)和71名(16.8%)为体重过轻、正常体重、超重和肥胖。贫血(血红蛋白<11g/dl)、缺铁(铁蛋白<15μg/l)和缺铁性贫血(IDA)的患病率分别为57.7%、21.3%和12.1%。与BMI正常的女性相比,肥胖女性贫血的比例显著更低[25名(35.2%)对108名(85.7%),P<0.001],而缺铁的肥胖女性数量显著更多[25名(35.2)对22名(17.5),P = 0.015]。线性回归分析显示血清铁蛋白与BMI之间存在显著的负相关(-0.010μg/,P = 0.006)。
从目前的研究结果可以明显看出,贫血和缺铁的患病率在孕妇BMI方面呈现出不同的趋势。
