“…In conclusion, the intake of trace elements in patients with HCV is insufficient, but on the level of typical Polish intake [31], this does not mean that this is the correct level and should not be considered a problem. On the contrary, this status quo should be changed, and patients should be provided with an adequate level of all nutrients, including the trace elements.…”

Aim: The most common treatment of HCV is a therapy with interferon a (INF-a), which could escalate appetite problems in patients. The anorexia and liver damage force suffers to adhere to a special diet, which can reduce the negative effects among the participants' interferon therapy. Thus, the aim of this preliminary study was to assess the trace elements nutritional habits in patients with HCV with and without the interferon therapy. Method: The study was carried out in 50 patients with HCV, males (n = 24) and females (n = 26), aged 19-65. 24 persons (12 males and 12 females) were treated by biotherapy of INF-a and ribavirin. For the assessment of trace elements intake a 24-h interview from 3 randomly chosen days fi"om each week of a 6 week study was used. Results: In the assessment of nutritional status, the body mass index (BJVII) as well as general energy intake were lower in all patients with interferon therapy than in those without therapy group. The sodium, potassium, phosphorus, magnesium, calcium, magnesium, iron, copper and zinc intakes were statistically lower in patients with therapy than without and were insufficient. Conclusions: The interferon therapy influences appetite regulation in patients with HCV and the reduction of diet intake can also lead to insufficient mineral intake as well as to symptoms associated with hypomineralemia. This study suggests-multi-supplementation with trace elements in all patients with HCV.

“…This fact leads to micronutrient deficiencies, especially in trace elements [27–30]. The use of slimming diets by women leads to an insufficient intake of vitamins (thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, ascorbic acid, vitamin A and D) as well as calcium, zinc and iron [28, 31].…”

“…Many authors are in the opinion, that common nutritional habits of Polish women are insufficient in the consumption of products such as vegetables, fruits, and dietary fibers [ 25 , 26 ]. This fact leads to micronutrient deficiencies, especially in trace elements [ 27 – 30 ]. The use of slimming diets by women leads to an insufficient intake of vitamins (thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, ascorbic acid, vitamin A and D) as well as calcium, zinc and iron [ 28 , 31 ].…”

AimThe idea that iron deficiency anemia can be recognized in depressive patients has been around for a few years, as well as negative association between ferritin levels and depression. Iron deficiency anemia, associated with low iron intake, has been observed in women using restriction diets, for example in vegetarians or anorexics. There are no data on the influence of the short-term food restrictions, observed for example in slimming women, on iron management and its connection with behavior expressed via changes in the subject’s emotional state.Materials and methodsThis study describes the effect of one- and two-day food restrictions (every 8 days for a period of 48 days) on selected iron management parameters in the serum and blood of 46 healthy volunteer women (23 in each group), aged 25.5 ± 3.0 years, in association with the subjects’ self-described emotional status and depression symptoms. The association between iron parameters and depression was also analyzed.ResultsResults show that short-term (2 days) fasting significantly decreases iron concentrations in serum and hair, as well as levels of ferritin, hemoglobin, hematocrit, red blood cells, and total iron binding capacity, but the short-term fasting did not influence the other iron management parameters. Each model of food restrictions also increased negative feelings towards depression. A significant negative correlation between serum ferritin levels and depression was found in women who starved for 2 days.ConclusionsThe study shows that, through an impact on mineral levels, even short-term food restrictions, as observed in many slimming women and girls, can be a reason for iron deficiency and also can alter the emotional status of healthy women. Maybe depression symptoms in anorexia or other eating disorders patients can be associated with iron deficiencies.
