This study evaluated the anemia, hematinic deficiencies, and hyperhomocysteinemia in 150 male and 914 female AG patients.enAtrophic glossitis; Folic acid; Hemoglobin; Homocysteine; Iron; Vitamin B12[SDGs]SDG3Significantly higher frequencies of macrocytosis, anemia, serum vitamin B12 and folic acid deficiencies, and hyperhomocysteinemia in male than in female atrophic glossitis patientsjournal article10.1016/j.jds.2022.05.011357841432-s2.0-85131430014https://api.elsevier.com/content/abstract/scopus_id/85131430014
