Effect of zinc deficiency on hair loss in pregnant women
Keywords:
zinc deficiency, trace elements, hair loss, pregnant women, ferritinAbstract
Zinc and iron, for example, are crucial trace elements for pregnant women's health. This study has been conducted for the evaluation of zinc and ferritin status of pregnant women since these elements have significant effects on health of the pregnant women as well as the growing embryo in Al Muthanna Province/ Iraq. Seventy five samples of this study were gathered from the three studied groups (Control, pregnant women with Hair Losing and non-pregnant women with Hair Losing) in the Central Health Laboratory of Al Muthanna Province through the period from November 2020 to May 2021, blood samples were collected for further analysis Conclusions : According to the findings of this study, serum zinc and ferritin levels are frequently low in pregnant women who complain of hair loss. Overall, zinc and ferritin insufficiency in Iraq is a major public health concern. Improving nutritional diversity aids in solving the risk among the study participants.
