Vitamin D, Folate, Vitamin B.sub.12, and Iron Status in Pregnant/Postpartum Old Order Anabaptist Women in Southwestern Ontario
2024
Overview
Purpose: To assess vitamin D, folate, vitamin [B.sub.12], and iron status in Old Order Anabaptist (OOA) pregnant/postpartum women. Methods: Blood was analyzed for plasma 25 hydroxy vitamin D (25(OH)D), red blood cell (RBC) folate, serum vitamin [B.sub.12], and iron status indicators. Dietary intakes (food and supplements) from 3-day estimated records were compared to Dietary Reference Intakes and Canada's Food Guide (2007). Results: Fifty women participated in this descriptive cross-sectional study. Concentrations of 25(OH)D were low (<50 nmol/L for 20% and <75 nmol/L for 63%); 42% had total vitamin D intakes < estimated average requirement (EAR). All women had RBC folate above the 1360 mmol/L cut-off. Nineteen percent had folate intakes upper limit. One woman had low serum vitamin [B.sub.12] (<148 pmol/L); serum vitamin [B.sub.12] was high (>652 pmol/L) for 24%. None had vitamin [B.sub.12] intakes 652 pmol/l) pour 24 % des femmes. Aucune n'avait un apport en vitamine [B.sub.12] inferieur au BME; les apports etaient eleves comparativement a l'apport alimentaire recommande. Une femme presentait un taux d'hemoglobine faible; 13 % avaient un taux de ferritine inferieur a 15 [micro]g/l. Treize pour cent avaient un apport total en fer inferieur au BME. Conclusions. Dans l'ensemble, l'apport alimentaire et l'etat nutritionnel en micronutriments seriques des femmes AAO enceintes et en post-partum de notre etude etaient similaires a ceux rapportes dans des etudes anterieures menees chez des femmes canadiennes. Si certaines femmes avaient un faible apport en vitamine D et en fer, la plupart avaient un apport eleve en folate et en vitamine [B.sub.12]. Ces resultats fournissent une indication pour assurer des apports alimentaires et en supplements appropries dans cette population potentiellement vulnerable et rarement etudiee.
