Abstract

Background: OXIDATIVE STRESS is one of important risk factors of deiseases specially in military recruits who are under sever practices VITAMIN C is one of the major ANTIOXIDANT factors which also help to increase iron absorption. VITAMIN C and probably iron deficiency due to that, can decrease soldier forces and cause various diseases particularly pulmonary diseases. The purpose of this study is to determine serum level of VITAMIN C and iron and TIBC in military recruits to prevent following problems due to deficiency of VITAMIN C.Materials and Methods: This study was done as a cross-sectional study in September 2007 in Tehran and 51 soldiers were chosen randomly who were between 17 and 24 years old. 5cc bloods were collected for determining serum VITAMIN C, iron and TIBC. Prevalence of VITAMIN C and iron deficiency and relationship between VITAMIN C and iron serum levels and between VITAMIN C and iron serum levels and between VITAMIN C and TIBC serum levels were calculated.Results: Mean value of serum level of VITAMIN C 0.57±0.23 SD was less than normal range. (0.6-2 mg/dl), and prevalence of VITAMIN C deficiency among the soldiers of this study was 56.8%. However, mean value of SERUM IRON 102.57±53.78 mg/dl SD was in normal range (60-180 mg0dl) and also TIBC amounts 364.51±59.00 mg/dl SD was in normal range (230-410 mg/dl). Relationship between VITAMIN C and TIBC serum levels was reversely significant (P<0.001).Conclusions: It is advisable to get more attention to provide more VITAMIN C resources for young soldiers for preventing to iron deficiency status or other potent dangers.
