    Objectives: Menopause is defined as the permanent termination of menstruation. In menopause, anemia may occur, and in addition various damages in the body due to free radicals may be seen. Antioxidant molecules are protective against these damages. In this study, we aimed to compare zinc. copper, and malondialdehyde (MDA) levels in postmenopausal women with and without iron deficiency anemia. Materials and methods: Postmenopausal women with iron deficiency anemia (group 1) (n = 30) and without anemia (group 2) (n = 30) were included in the study. Venous blood samples were obtained from the subjects after a fasting period of 12 hours. Hemoglobin, hematocrit, ferritin, MDA, iron, copper, and zinc levels were measured. Data were evaluated using an independent sample t-test. Results: Copper and MDA levels were significantly higher in group I than in group 2; zinc, ferritin, iron. hemoglobin, and hematocrit levels were lower. Conclusion: Nutritional habits have great importance in improving the quality of life in the postmenopausal period. Therefore, we think that MDA levels, which provide information about oxidative damage levels, and trace elements such as zinc, copper, and iron, should be monitored periodically in postmenopausal women.

    Objective: Along with the increase in the frequency of multiple pregnancies, an increase is observed in the frequency of feto-maternal negativities. In our study, we aimed to determine the iron, ferritin, hemoglobin, zinc, and copper levels in second-trimester multiparous twin pregnancies and compare them with the values in singleton pregnancies and healthy women with the same demographic characteristics.Methods: Three groups were created in the study; control group, single pregnancy group, and twin pregnancy group. Fasting venous blood samples were taken from individuals. Iron, zinc, copper, and ferritin levels were measured.Results: Compared with the control group, the ferritin (Fe), and zinc (Zn) values of the individuals in the single and twin pregnancy groups were statistically low while copper (Cu) levels were significantly high (p<0.05). Also, when compared with individuals in a single pregnancy group, a statistically significant decrease was found in Fe, and Zn levels in the twin pregnancy group (p<0.05). Although there was a minimal increase in Cu levels, this increase was not statistically significant in the twin pregnancy group.Conclusion: Since changes in trace element levels can lead to feto-maternal adverse effects, we think that dietary habits should be monitored, and zinc, copper, ferritin, and iron levels should be followed in pregnant women.
