Building a Theoretical Framework
HOW to build a theoretical framework?
The theoretical framework depends largely on 2 factors: what we reveal in the literature review and the approach chosen.
Literature Review Outcomes
The literature reviewed REVEALS:
- There is a fully developed theory with plenty of empirical evidence.
- There are several theories

Iron Metabolism (Fe)
Iron is constantly lost through urine, approximately 1 mg/day. Iron consumption can be in ferrous or ferric form. Only about 10% of consumed iron is absorbed, necessitating a daily intake of 10 mg. This minimum iron intake should be doubled or tripled during pregnancy or menstruation.
Total iron reserves in the body are between 4-5 grams. 70-75% of this iron is in the form of hemoglobin, 15-20% as transferrin, 5% as myoglobin, and 1% in various other forms.
Iron is consumed in
