Background and objectivesIn an effort to improve donor health, we set out to investigate determinants other than blood donation that increase risk of ID in a healthy population and if they should be implemented into current blood donor selection processes. MethodsWe systematically searched the PubMed, Ovid Medline and Scopus for articles related to ID. ResultsCurrent evidence suggests that several determinants, including biological, environmental, lifestyle and socioeconomic factors increase the risk for ID. ConclusionsHeavy menstruation, use of some medications and dietary factors could potentially be implemented in donor selection, however further study is needed.
