Iron, Hemochromatosis Genotypes, and Risk of Infections: A Cohort Study of 142 188 General Population Individuals

The goal of this activity is for learners to be better able to determine possible associations of high and low iron, transferrin saturation, and ferritin with risk for infections, both observationally and genetically through HFE genotypes, in a Danish general population-based study (N = 142,188, with iron, transferrin saturation, and ferritin measured in 136,656, 136,599, and 38,020 individuals, respectively, and HFE genotyping for C282Y and H63D in 132,542 individuals, with median follow-up of 8 years for hospital and emergency department admissions with infections [N = 20,394 individuals]).
