[ 1 ] - Serum ferritin levels and bone mineral density in the elderly
Background: Iron overload influences negatively on bone mineral density (BMD) but the results of studies regarding serum ferritin (SF) and BMD are conflicting.This study aimed to determine the association of SF and BMD in the elderly. Methods: All participants of the Amirkola cohort selected between 2011-2012, aged > 60 years were classified as high or normal (<200ng/ml) SF. BMD at femoral nec...
[ 2 ] - Muscle strength in diabetics compared to non-diabetic elderly subjects: A cross sectional and case-control study
