Objective: The aim of this retrospective study was to calculate the amount of daily
boron intake according to the daily nutrition diary and to evaluate the effects of boron
on health via the results of some biochemical and hematological parameters.
Methods: A total of 50 patients who were admitted to the Maltepe Ersoy Hospital
Nutrition and Diet Clinic, had some biochemical and hematological examinations, had
a weekly nutrition diary, and had anthropometric records were included in the present
study. The relationships between daily boron intake and biochemical, hematological,
and anthropometric records of the patients were examined.
Results: The average daily boron intake was calculated as 1.45±0.4 (women:
1.4±0.4 and men: 1.5±0.5) mg/day and was mostly found in fruits. There was a
significant and negative correlation between body mass index and daily boron intake
(r=−0.3555, p=0.05); however, no significant relationship was found between daily
boron intake level and other parameters.
Conclusion: To our knowledge, this is the first study in the literature that presents
the dietary boron level in Turkey and also examines the relationship between dietary
boron level and biochemical and hematological parameters retrospectively. The
results of our study could provide useful information and contribution to ongoing boron
studies.
