Body composition in middle-aged women with special reference to the correlation between body fat mass and anthropometric data.

Journal Article
An analysis of factors leading to a reduction in iron deficiency in Swedish women.
TL;DR: An analysis of the factors leading to the marked reduction in the prevalence of iron deficiency anaemia among Swedish women indicates that the 20-25% improvement in iron status can be accounted for by increased use of oral contraceptives, the impact of increased iron fortification, and the widespread use of ascorbic acid supplements.

TL;DR: The decrease in S-MeHg is probably due to a decreased consumption of MeHg via contaminated fish, and may reflect a decrease in environmental exposure, but the possibility of contamination of the 1968-1969 samples at sampling and/or storage cannot be excluded.
