摘要: Abstract This study examined dietary folate intake in 173 older adults. A subsample (n=128) also provided data about folic acid from vitamin/mineral supplements and serum folate. Subjects were community-dwelling men women 60 years of age older. Overall, this sample had healthful patterns with adequate Mean converted to equivalents (DFE) was 464 μg DFE/day. However, 20% (n=36) inadequate 2% (n=3) high DFE (>1,000 DFE/day). completed a supplement questionnaire biochemical assessment Adding (total DFE), increased 766 DFE/day; 13% (n=16) inadequate, 75% (n=95) adequate, (n=13) total DFE. No subject low reported use, but 94% (n=39) did so. In the subsample, all subjects acceptable levels (mean folate=28.0±13.8 ng/mL [63.5±31.3 nmol/L]). conclusion, should be included nutrition Older adults may at risk for if their energy is low, they do not take supplement, or are consuming fortified cereals. excess consume both
