Iron status in women generally improves:

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Iron status in women generally improves after menopause, as they no longer experience menstrual bleeding which can contribute to iron loss. Daily exercise, decreased muscle mass, and adequate zinc intake can also improve iron status but are not as significant as the impact of menopause. Perimenopause, the transition period leading up to menopause, may actually result in increased iron loss due to irregular bleeding.
