This component identifies high-level deficiencies in existing systems, processes and arrangements.
Benefits in any specific area may be related to the level of deficiency; countries with very high levels of deficiency could expect the largest reductions in mortality as a result of supplementation.
Vitamin deficiencies, including scurvy, are prevalent, and doctors have found an alarmingly high level of iodine deficiency among women in central Afghanistan, which leads to goiters in mothers and cretinism in their children.
It has been found that α-phased Cu2−xSe can be induced by a relatively high level of Cu deficiency (Cu1.95Se) in the as-synthesized Cu2−xSe nanoplates at room temperature.
Using the PG-SGA, we have observed high levels of nutritional deficiencies among patients with gynecological cancer, especially those diagnosed with ovarian cancer [ 17, 18], but to date no study has assessed whether the scored PG-SGA can predict prolonged LOS among gynecological cancer patients.
Accordingly child health indicators were unsatisfactory: there was high morbidity, a low exclusive breastfeeding rate, a high level of anaemia, high iodine deficiency levels, etc.
Cluster 3 was the largest group (71.46 %, n = 26,237), characterized by the lowest levels of indicator variables except for a comparatively high level of nutrition and folic acid deficiency and a moderate level of high maternal delivery age, and was considered the low-risk cluster.
Most Latin Americans living in poverty consume a diet rich in cereals and beans, and low in animal products ([Berne Pena et al. 2008]), and therefore record high levels of Zn deficiency ([Amaya et al. 2002];[WHO 2008]).
At the population level, previous studies reported high levels of heterozygote deficiency relative to Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium and null alleles were invoked to explain this result [29], [30], [35].
De Lorenzo et al. have identified the normal weight obese (NWO) syndrome, characterized by normal body weight and BMI, but high total body fat mass (TBFat) accumulation (>30%) accompanied by TBLean deficiency [ 15] and high level of atherogenic indices and oxidative stress [ 16, 17].
In fibroblasts, complex I deficiency was secondary to a high level of mutations (68%) (Fig. 1 D ).
