  • Title: Comparative study of serum iron and iron binding capacity and their correlation with RBC and haemoglobin of school children of both sexes at Dead Sea level and Amman.
    Author: Khraisha S.
    Journal: Trop Geogr Med; 1983 Sep; 35(3):263-6. PubMed ID: 6649053.
    Abstract:
    120 paired male and 120 paired female school children of age range 10-18 years from Dead Sea Level (390 meters below sea level) and Amman (766 meters above sea level) of average middle class family having more or less identical nutrition were investigated for serum iron, iron binding capacity, haemoglobin concentration and red blood cells. RBC count, Hb, serum iron and iron binding capacity were significantly lower in male and female students at Dead Sea level than at Amman.
