Abstract
Of all persons [in a community] aged 30-39 yr, 347 (964%) were screened with serum Fe and Fe binding capacity measurements to determine the incidence of hemochromatosis in a population. No women had signs of Fe overload; 9 men (5%) had persistently elevated serum Fe levels. In 4 men (2%), increased Fe stores were found with a distribution like that in the early stages of hemochromatosis. In combination with recent findings of clinical hemochromatosis, this condition does not appear as rare as previously reported.This publication has 6 references indexed in Scilit:
