The differences in quantification of obligatory losses of iron made by various expert groups is possibly explained by differences in environmental sanitation and the prevalence of diarrhoea. The presence of dietary components that affect bioavailability differs between and within a given ecological setting. 

The concern about iron excess may be greater in places where anaemia is no longer an issue (e.g. in northern Europe), but in other areas iron deficiency is significant.
