Mean age of participants was 24.7 ± 4.9 years. Mean zinc concentration was 70.4±8.01 µg/dl. About 63 percent of subjects had serum zinc level less than 75 µg/dl (significant zinc deficiency) and of this group 19/1 percent had severe zinc deficiency (less than 60 µg/dl). The mean of serum zinc level by BMI (< 20, 20-25, > 25) were 63.1, 70 and 75.7 (P < 0.0001). In person s that eat more frequency of meat and dairy products weekly, zinc levels were more than others (P < 0.01). Discussion.
