Iron deficiency is the most prevalent nutrient deficiency in the world, affecting as many as 2 billion people worldwide. In the United States, iron deficiency is most common among toddlers, adolescent girls and women of childbearing age with prevalences in these groups ranging from 9% to 11%. Consequences of iron deficiency include impaired work performance, poor educational performance, compromised immune function, and adverse pregnancy outcomes.
The overall objectives of Miller’s research program are to increase knowledge about factors that influence the nutritional bioavailability of iron in foods. A variety of techniques are used including in vitro gastrointestinal digestion, cell culture, and animal models.
