Estimation of serum iron, total iron binding capacity (TIBC) and transferrin saturation was performed in 62 apparently healthy male medical students. All had haemoglobin over 140 g/1. Low serum iron, elevated level of TIBC and transferrin saturation under 20% indicating iron deficiency state was found in 2 subjects. Elevated values of TIBC was found in 25 (40.32%) students as evidence of latent iron deficiency. Such high prevalence of iron deficiency in an affluent group indicates widespread iron deficiency in the general population.
对62名看似健康的男性医学生进行了血清铁、总铁结合力（TIBC）和转铁蛋白饱和度的测定。所有人的血红蛋白均超过140 g/1。在2名受试者中发现血清铁水平低、TIBC水平升高且转铁蛋白饱和度低于20%，表明存在缺铁状态。在25名（40.32%）学生中发现TIBC值升高，这是潜在缺铁的证据。在一个富裕群体中缺铁的如此高患病率表明普通人群中缺铁情况普遍存在。
