世界卫生组织发布了关于铁状态评估的新指南，建议通过测量铁蛋白这一关键生物标志物来早期检测铁缺乏症和铁过载。1 该指南将指导各地实施针对性的干预措施，以应对全球铁营养不足问题。
铁缺乏症的危害范围广泛且深远。1 全球有33%的非孕妇女、40%的孕妇和42%的儿童面临铁缺乏症困扰，1 其中614百万妇女和280百万儿童已经患有贫血症。1 特别值得关注的是，两岁以下儿童的铁缺乏症可能对脑发育造成不可逆转的损害，1 进而影响其后期的学习能力和学校表现。铁元素对人体至关重要，执行包括氧气运输、DNA合成和肌肉代谢在内的多项生理功能。1 准确测量铁蛋白浓度将帮助卫生工作者识别高危人群，制定个性化的营养干预策略。
The World Health Organization has released new guidance on early detection of iron deficiency and iron overload through the measurement of ferritin, a key biomarker of iron metabolism.1 Iron deficiency remains a widespread global health challenge, affecting approximately 33% of non-pregnant women, 40% of pregnant women, and 42% of children worldwide.1 The condition currently results in anemia affecting 614 million women and 280 million children globally, with limited progress in reducing these figures.1
The health consequences of iron deficiency are particularly severe for young children and pregnant populations.1 In children under two years of age, iron deficiency can cause irreversible damage to brain development, with lasting impacts on later learning capabilities and school performance.1 Iron itself is an essential element required for critical bodily functions including oxygen transport, DNA synthesis, and muscle metabolism.1 Accurate measurement of ferritin concentration enables healthcare providers to design targeted intervention strategies tailored to individual and population needs.1
