- A study in Ambala District, Haryana, India assessed folate and vitamin B12 levels among women of reproductive age and their potential link to neural tube defects (NTDs) in infants, highlighting the public health importance of these nutrients during pregnancy.
- Findings revealed that 10.1% of women had serum folate deficiency, while 78.3% showed RBC folate insufficiency. Additionally, vitamin B12 deficiency affected 57.7% of the participants, indicating widespread nutritional deficiencies.
- The predicted rate of neural tube defects was approximately 21 per 10,000 live births, emphasizing the need for nutritional interventions; this baseline data will aid future assessments after fortification
