Seth Armah

Dr. Seth Armah is an Associate Professor in the Department of Nutrition at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. His research focuses on addressing global micronutrient deficiencies, particularly iron and zinc deficiencies, through dietary interventions. He investigates the interplay between dietary components, inflammation, and micronutrient status in populations, including overweight/obese individuals and those with chronic health conditions.

Current projects include studying iron homeostasis in obesity models, zinc bioavailability reassessment, and the relationship between selenium, iron status, and body weight. His work combines clinical studies, animal models, and statistical modeling to advance understanding of nutrient absorption and public health strategies.

Dr. Armah has contributed to seminal studies on iron bioavailability from the US diet, phytate effects on iron absorption, and the efficacy of iron-enriched dietary supplements. His research has been published in journals like The Journal of Nutrition and Obesity Surgery.

His expertise spans nutritional biochemistry, dietary intervention design, and translational research with global public health implications.
