很少有人知道在美国的西班牙裔群体的铁的地位。来自西班牙裔健康和营养检查调查的数据用于估计来自三个西班牙裔群体的5-74岁人群的铁状态受损的患病率：墨西哥裔美国人（MA），古巴人和波多黎各人;还使用第二次全国健康和营养检查调查的数据计算了非西班牙裔白人（NHW）和非西班牙裔黑人（NHB）的患病率。使用称为MCV模型的三变量模型来评估受损的Fe状态。基于MCV模型的患病率在西班牙裔组之间没有差异。西班牙裔和非西班牙裔之间的差异只发生在20-44岁的女性，其中MA的患病率高于NHWs或NHB。除此之外，这些西班牙裔群体似乎没有比非西班牙裔更大的铁状态受损的风险。
Little is known about the iron status of Hispanic groups in the United States. Data from the Hispanic Health and Nutrition Examination Survey were used to estimate the prevalence of impaired Fe status for persons aged 5-74 y from three Hispanic groups: Mexican Americans (MAs), Cubans, and Puerto Ricans; prevalences were also calculated for non-Hispanic whites (NHWs) and non-Hispanic blacks (NHBs) using data from the second National Health and Nutrition Examination survey. A three-variable model called the MCV model was used to assess impaired Fe status. Prevalences based on the MCV model did not differ between Hispanic groups. Differences between Hispanics and non-Hispanics occurred only among 20-44-y-old females, where MAs had a higher prevalence than NHWs or NHBs. With this exception, these Hispanic groups do not appear to be at greater risk of impaired Fe status than non-Hispanics.
