Inflammatory disease as well as iron deficiency may play an important role in the cause of anemia in the United States. We evaluated the relationships between Fe deficiency, inflammatory disease, and anemia using data from of the First National Health and Nutritional Examination Survey (NHANES I). Fe nutrition index was based on the ratio of serum Fe to Fe-binding capacity (Fe:TIBC) and inflammatory index was based on erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR). Groups with the highest prevalence of anemia were younger children, young women, and elderly men. Fe deficiency (low Fe:TIBC) was most common among the anemic children and young women but rare in anemic elderly men. Conversely, inflammation (high ESR) was most common among anemic elderly individuals. The prevalence of anemia was more than twice as high in the lowest than in the highest income group. Relative contributions of Fe deficiency and inflammation to anemia did not differ substantially among income groups.
