Question 1

Describe factors that make iron deficiency likely in older people.

Accepted Answer

Iron status generally improves in later life,especially in women after menstruation ceases and in those who take iron supplements,eat red meat regularly,and include vitamin-C rich fruits in their daily diet.When iron-deficiency anemia does occur,diminished appetite with low food intake is often the cause.Aside from diet,other factors make iron deficiency likely in older people: chronic blood loss from ulcers or hemorrhoids; poor iron absorption due to reduced stomach acid secretion; antacid use,which interferes with iron absorption; and use of medicines that cause blood loss,including anticoagulants,aspirin,and arthritis medicines.
