The effect of ferrous oral iron used in the treatment of iron deficiency on weight gain and appetite in adults: a prospective study
In conclusion, our findings indicate that oral Fe<sup>+2</sup> iron preparations positively influence the treatment of iron deficiency anaemia by improving haematological parameters and concurrently leading to a significant reduction in body weight, BMI, and appetite scores related to specific food items. The study underscores the multifaceted impact of iron supplementation on both physiological and behavioural aspects, providing valuable insights for optimizing iron deficiency anaemia management.
