Abstract
Background: Iron deficiency anemia (IDA) is a condition where the body's iron intake is less than its excretion, leading to a negative iron balance. Aim and objectives: To evaluate the association between iron deficiency anemia (IDA) and bone density. Patients and methods: This cross-sectional investigation was performed on 60 female patients who had iron deficiency anemia in their age range (18-40 years). All participants were categorized into three groups: According to a hemoglobin level, mild, moderate, and severe anemia: Group I: Includes 1 patient with mild iron deficiency anemia Hb: (11.0–11.9 g/L), Group II: Includes 23 patients with moderate iron deficiency anemia. (Hb (8.0-10.9 g/L) and Group III: Includes 36 patients with Severe iron deficiency anemia. (Hb less than 8.0 g/L). The patients were recruited from the Hematology Unit, Department of Internal Medicine, Al-Zahra University Hospital, during the period from January 2023 to May 2024. Results: There was a statistically significant comparison between the degree of anemia and the Vitamin D and T scores. According to bone mineral density regarding Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry, the mean of AP-spine was -.93±1.07, and the mean of the Femur was. 62±0.80, and the mean of the forearm was -.84±1.35. There was a significant positive correlation between classifications of T score and Hemoglobin, trans-ferritin saturation, serum iron, and serum VIT D3. Conclusion: In our study, there was a significant positive relation between iron deficiency anemia and bone mineral deficiency. Also, there was a significant positive correlation between osteoporosis, RBCS indices, iron profile, and VIT D3 deficiency.
