Abstract EN
Background and Aims.
Hyperferritinemia has been related with a wide spectrum of pathologies, including diabetes, cardiovascular disease, neurodegenerative disorders, and metabolic syndrome.
The aim of this study was to investigate the association between hyperferritinemia and iron consumption.
Methods and Results.
Serum ferritin concentration was evaluated in 66 presumed healthy men, along with other clinical and biochemical markers of chronic diseases.
A three-day food questionnaire was applied for nutrition information.
Hyperferritinemia was a condition found in 13.4% of the volunteers analyzed.
Significant correlations were found between serum ferritin concentration and metabolic syndrome parameters (HDL cholesterol, triglycerides, and fasting glucose) as well as an increase of the serum ferritin mean value with the number of risk factors of metabolic syndrome.
Also, oxidative stress markers (carbonyl groups, AOPP, and glycated hemoglobin), hepatic damage markers (GGT, SGOT), and parameters related to insulin resistance (HOMA, blood insulin, and blood glucose) correlate significantly with serum ferritin.
Volunteers had an excessive iron intake, principally by bread consumption.
Analyses of food intake showed that red meat consumption correlates significantly with serum ferritin.
Conclusion.
Red meat consumption, metabolic syndrome, and chronic disease markers are associated with hyperferritinemia in a population of Chilean men.
