| Abstract: | Aims. – To study mortality and body iron stores in former elite road cyclists.Synthesis of facts. – Mortality and body iron stores were studied in 514 former elite cyclists. Mortality. Twenty-seven deaths (5%) were recorded compared to 38 (7,4%) in a control group. Iron stores. Hyperferritinemia was found in 13% of cyclists and associated with both the metabolic syndrome and previous iron supplementation, especially through parenteral route and in the youngest subjects.Conclusion. – Middle-term mortality of former elite cyclists is unmodified. Previous iron supplementation may be responsible of persisting and long-term damaging iron excess. |
