question

Why are some specific indices of iron status (such as serum ferritin or transferrin receptors) generally considered to be more reliable indices of iron status, than blood haemoglobin levels are?

choices

  1. Because they respond more rapidly to changes in iron levels in the diet.
  2. Because blood haemoglobin levels can also respond to a variety of other factors and insults, such as lead poisoning, chronic disease, etc.
  3. Because the specific iron indices can be measured more accurately and easily.
  4. Because haemoglobin levels vary with subject age, and between the sexes.
