INTRODUCTION: Anemia and macrocytosis are well-defined expected hematologic findings of vitamin B12 and folate deficiency; however, some previous studies did not show a significant association of subnormal B12 with anemia and macrocytosis.
METHODS: We retrospectively analyzed 17 713 laboratory patient records to evaluate vitamin B12 and folate levels in relation to anemia and macrocytosis.
RESULTS: In an age- and sex-adjusted logistic regression model, low B12 status but not marginal B12 status was significantly associated with anemia [ORs respectively, 1.291 (95% CI, 1.182-1.410), 1.022 (95% CI, 0.943-1.108)] and macrocytosis [ORs, respectively, 3.853 (95% CI, 3.121-4.756), 1.031 (95% CI, 0.770-1.381)]. Also low folate status but not marginal folate status was significantly associated with anemia [adjusted ORs, respectively, 1.819 (95% CI, 1.372-2.411), 1.101 (95% CI, 0.931-1.301)] and macrocytosis [adjusted ORs, respectively, 2.945 (95% CI, 1.747-4.965), 1.228 (95% CI, 0.795-1.898)].
CONCLUSION: Our results show that increased anemia and macrocytosis are observed at values below commonly used B12 lower-reference thresholds. Determining a hematologic cutoff value may help physicians in clinical practice.
