BACKGROUND & AIMS: The present study was designed to investigate the oxidant-
antioxidant status in iron deficiency anemia (IDA) in non-pregnant anemic Indian women
before and after a combined iron supplementation (100 mg/day as ferrous sulfate) and folic
acid (500 μg/day) for 100 days. METHODS: In this prospective study, a total of 117 non-
pregnant anemic women divided into three groups, namely mild (55), moderate (40) and
severe (22) anemic along with control group (60). Changes in blood index values, oxidative …
