Abstract
Purpose Iron deficiency is the number one nutritional disorder in the world and is quite common in Pakistan. Iron deficiency anaemia may result from a low dietary intake, inadequate intestinal absorption, excessive blood loss, andor increased needs. While iron overload is also responsible of number of diseases. The normal iron status of our body is usually maintained by controlling amount of iron absorbed from food. The recommended daily allowance RDA for adult male and female in the age from 19 to 50 years is 8 and 18mg, respectively. While RDA above 50 years is it for both genders i.e. 8mg NIH, 2002. Nutritional status of dietary iron was estimated to combat the iron related diseases in Pakistani population. Designmethodologyapproach Food samples were collected from major citiesdistricts of the country using market basket method. Daily diets were prepared and analyzed for iron contents using Atomic Absorption Spectrometry AAS. Findings An average value of iron concentration was measured to be 5215gg, which leads to an average daily dietary intake of 319.5mgd, with a variation of 12 to 52mgd. The estimated values of our daily iron intake are about 2 times higher than the recommended daily allowance set by international committee of radiological protection ICRP and US food and nutrition board FNB. Apparently our diet seems enriched in iron contents. But its bioavailability may be low due to dietary composition. Major portion of our diet is based on plant food 71 per cent, followed by milk products 17 per cent and other miscellaneous items, whereas consumption of animal food is only 5 per cent. This dietary composition and our food intake habits in the presence of iron inhibiters i.e. phytate in plant food, tannin and polyphenols in tea and calcium could be the leading cause of iron deficiency anemia among the Pakistani population. Originalityvalue Iron deficiency anemia is quiet common and cause of concern in Pakistan. The findings of the study indicate that bioavailability of iron to Pakistani population can be enhancedimproved with slight alterationsadjustments in dietary habits.
