The quality of the diets of young women even in developed countries can be poor, resulting in low intakes of poorly available iron that fail to meet their high physiological requirement for growing body tissues, expanding red cell mass, and onset of menarche. As a consequence, low iron stores have frequently been reported in young women, sometimes in association with adverse health consequences (Fairweather-Tait, 1996). Additional exacerbating non-dietary factors associated with low iron stores in young women may include high menstrual losses, frequent blood donations, nose bleeds, and, sometimes, strenuous exercise. These same etiological factors may also predispose young women to suboptimal zinc status (Yokoi et al., 1994), when there is often a decline in red meat consumption, a readily available source of zinc and iron (Richardson, 1994). Nevertheless, very few studies have examined the zinc status of this age group.In this study, we have compared the biochemical zinc status of Caucasian young women living in Dunedin, New Zealand (NZ) with that of a group of young women from Guelph, Ontario, Canada, a group with lower iron stores, based on lower serum ferritin values. We have also evaluated the impact of certain biological (eg infection, use of oral contraceptive agents (OCA), age, body weight, height and body mass index) and dietary (eg presence and absence of red meat, flesh food intake, and [phytate]:[zinc] molar ratios) factors on the biochemical zinc indices measured. From these results, we have determined whether young women with low iron stores are at risk of suboptimal zinc status.
