Research progress on iron metabolism in aging-related diseases
With the acceleration of population aging in China,the issue of population aging is becoming increasingly severe.The investigation of the pathogenesis of aging-related diseases has become a focal point in the field of modern geriatrics.Iron is an essential trace element in the human body and plays a crucial role in maintaining normal physiological functions.Numerous studies have demonstrated the association between the disruption of iron metabolism and the occurrence and progression of various aging-related diseases.This review aims to briefly summarize the potential mechanisms of iron metabolism disorders in common aging-related diseases,and provide a theoretical basis for the diagnosis and treatment of such diseases.
