Association Between Body Iron Status and Biological Aging
The positive association with ferritin is consistent with the proposed role of oxidative stress in accelerated aging associated with high iron exposure. However, the observed inverse associations with serum iron and transferrin saturation are not consistent with this common explanation, and future studies are needed to examine potential explanations.
