BACKGROUND: RBC folate concentrations are monitored at the population level, with a recommended threshold for optimal neural tube defect (NTD) prevention. A corresponding threshold for serum folate has not been established.
OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to estimate the serum folate insufficiency threshold corresponding to the RBC folate threshold for NTD prevention and examine how this threshold is modified by vitamin B12 status.
METHODS: Participants were women (15-40 y; not pregnant or lactating; n = 977) from a population-based biomarker survey in Southern India. RBC folate and serum folate were measured via microbiologic assay. RBC folate deficiency (<305 nmol/L) and insufficiency (<748 nmol/L), serum vitamin B12 deficiency (<148 pmol/L) and vitamin B12 insufficiency (<221 pmol/L), elevated plasma MMA (>0.26 μmol/L), elevated plasma homocysteine (>10.0 μmol/L), and elevated HbA1c (≥6.5%) were evaluated. Bayesian linear models were used to estimate unadjusted and adjusted thresholds.
RESULTS: Compared with adequate vitamin B12 status, the estimated serum folate threshold was higher in participants with serum vitamin B12 deficiency (72.5 vs. 28.1 nmol/L) or vitamin B12 insufficiency (48.7 vs. 24.3 nmol/L) and elevated MMA (55.6 vs. 25.9 nmol/L). The threshold was lower in participants with elevated HbA1c (HbA1c ≥6.5% vs. <6.5%; 21.0 vs. 40.5 nmol/L).
CONCLUSIONS: The estimated serum folate threshold for optimal NTD prevention was similar to previous reports (24.3 vs. 25.6 nmol/L) among participants with sufficient vitamin B12 status. However, this threshold was more than 2-fold higher in participants with vitamin B12 deficiency and substantially higher across all indicators of insufficient vitamin B12 status (<221 pmol/L, elevated MMA, combined B12, impaired vitamin B12 status), and lower in participants with elevated HbA1c. Findings suggest a serum folate threshold for NTD prevention may be possible in some settings; however, it may not be appropriate in populations with high prevalence of vitamin B12 insufficiency.
