Abstract

Background: Many scientific studies indicated that there is no close correlation between the malnutrition and weight gain (obesity) with iron deficiency, which leads to anemia. This study was designed to find the nature of the relationship between fat accumulations in adults with anemia. Methods: This study and tests were conducted in Mosul/Iraq, and random samples were collected from adults in two clinical analysis laboratories accredited by the Department of Health. The samples were taken after fasting for 14 consecutive hours to study the marks of cholesterol, LDL, the lipase enzyme, and some chemical elements such as iron and copper, as well as measuring the HB% percentage. The results were analyzed statistically based on the t-test using SPSS statistical program, and a value of p<0.05 was considered a significant value within the results. Results: The ages of the people targeted in this investigation were between (18-50) years, and after collecting the test results and analyzing them statistically, the samples were divided into three groups based on the severity of iron deficiency (anemia), the first group A. It was included people with a severe anemia, while the second group B was for people with moderate to weak anemia, whereas the third group C was designed as a control group(people who do not have anemia). A comparison was made between group A with the control group C, and the average cholesterol concentration in group A appeared to be higher than that in group C,- with a significant difference, while the average lipase and LDL levels were slightly, higher in group A compared to the control group, but it was not significant. As for the chemical elements, the average Fe in group A was low, with a significant difference at p<0.05 compared with C., In regard to copper element, it was low in the first group compared to the third group, but it was not significant. The average hemoglobin (Hb)concentration was different between the three mentioned groups. and gradually decreased in the first group compared to the second and the third group. There was significant changes in Hb concentrations between group A compared to group C, while there was no significant difference when comparing group B with the control...
