What is the evidence for gender differences in ferritin and haemoglobin
Critical Reviews in Oncology/Hematology, 07/24/09

Rushton DH et al. – The presence of haem iron in the diet of humans enhances non–haem iron absorption but dietary surveys consistently report that women's diet is deficient in iron. Furthermore, the typical Western diet contains many common foods that limit iron absorption. It appears that lower haemoglobin and ferritin values in menstruating women have been accepted as normal rather than possibly representing widespread iron deficiency. Reference ranges should be re–evaluated in populations proven to be iron replete.
