The purpose of this study is to investigate the iron nutritional status and anemia of university female students. Seventy female subjects in Ulsan city were evaluated with questionnaire, measurement of hematological indices. The mean height and weight of 70 subjects were 160.76±0.48㎝, 52.80±0.72㎏ and BMI(body mass index: ㎏/㎡), %IBW(ideal body weight) were 21.0±0.29, 100.2±12.41. The mean values of hemoglobin(Hgb), hematocrit(Hct), serum iron(S-Fe), serum ferritin(SF), TIBC(total iron binding capacity), transferrin saturation(TS(%)) and RBC were 12.7±11.10g/dl, 39.0±2.61%, 96.9±41.98㎍/dl, 28.9±24.78㎍/dl, 369.6±54.36㎍/dl, 27.1±12.40% and 4.4±0.27(10^6/㎣), respectively. Iron deficiency anemia among the subjects was estimated as 15.7% by using Hgb(＜12g/dl), 11.4% by Hct(＜36%), 22.9% by S-Fe(＜60㎍/dl), 34.3% by SF(＜15㎍/dl), 48.6% by TIBC(＞360㎍/dl) and 20.0% by TS(%)(＜15%). 15 subjective symptoms were measured and the high prevalence symptoms were ‘cold hands and feet’ and ‘tired out easily’. The correlation between hemotological indices and subjective symptoms was evaluated. The hemoglobin level was negatively correlated with ‘cold hands and feet’, ‘short breath when climbing’, ‘fragile nail’, ‘inflammed inner mouth’, ‘pale face’ and ‘scaly tetter’.
