The association between dietary iron intake and the incidence of cardiometabolic multimorbidity: the mediating role of biological age
High dietary iron intake is associated with a lower risk of CMM, partially mediated by biological aging. Appropriate intake of total dietary iron and non-heme iron may be associated with a slowed biological aging process and a lower risk of CMM.
