12 Challenges Folate and related B-vitamins Folate Vitamin B-12 Riboflavin 12
13 Rates of NTDs per births: Botto et al BMJ 2005;330: Food folates and Folic acid Food folates are reduced molecules predominantly polyglutamates but converted to monoglutamates for absorption Compared with folic acid, food folates are much less stable to cooking much less bioavailable once ingested The potential to optimise folate status by means of natural food folate sources is very limited 13
14 Dietary Folate Equivalents (DFE) Dietary Folate Equivalents (DFE) now used in the United States based on differences in bioavailability between natural folates and added folic acid DFE=µg natural food folate times µg FA Deficient and sub-optimal vitamin B12 status High prevalence of low/deficient B12 status among older people 10%: years in UK 20%: >75 years Pernicious anaemia (classical B12 deficiency) explains < 2% of cases Food-bound malabsorption (due to atrophic gastritis) Mild (pre-clinical) cause of B12 deficiency Very common; as high as 45% in some studies 14
15 Sub-optimal riboflavin status Data from a convenience sample in Northern Ireland and NDNS data of British adults aged y NI sample: Males 19-64y (n=215) NDNS Males 19-64y NI Sample: Females 19-64y (n=220) NDNS Females 19-64y EGRac 1.35 ± ± ± ± 0.19 EGRac (erythrocyte glutathione reductase activation coefficient) is a functional indicator of riboflavin status. A higher EGRac ratio indicates lower riboflavin status Homocysteine-related B-vitamins The Challenge The average diet is insufficient in providing optimal folate status to lower homocysteine Low vitamin B12 status is common in older people despite high B12 intakes Some evidence of low riboflavin status in the general population 15
16 Striking the balance Does dose matter? Folic acid safety and toxicity 1989: A review concluded that daily supplements of 5-10 mg folic acid appear to be well tolerated and without toxicity in normal non-pregnant subjects Butterworth CE and Tamura T AJCN 1989;50: : A review cautions that a high folic acid intake may be harmful for some people Smith et al AJCN 2008;87:
17 Safety concerns of overexposure Historical concern: masking of B-12 deficiency Others high dose folic acid might lead to: an adverse interaction with zinc; decreased therapeutic effect of anticonvulsants; decreased natural killer cell cytotoxicity; twin pregnancy Latest big issue: colorectal cancer (Cole et al 2007; Mason et al 2007; Hirsch et al 2009) prostate cancer (Figueiredo et al 2009) Homocysteine response (%) to FA ( mg/d) according to initial thcy concentration Tighe et al AJCN 2011; 93, Homocysteine response (%) Placebo 0.2mg 0.4mg 0.8mg High initial thcy Low initial thcy 17
18 Absolute change in homocysteine in response to intervention with folic acid in IHD patients Tighe et al AJCN 2011; 93, Homocysteine response (µmol/l ) Placebo 0.2mg 0.4mg 0.8mg 6 week 12 week 26 week Take-home messages Balance of current evidence shows that folic acid has a probable effect in preventing chronic disease, especially stroke is most beneficial in the primary prevention of disease and in those with lowest folate status Folate-related B vitamins (vitamins B-12 and B-6) have additional roles in preventing disease beneficial effects not necessarily via homocysteine-lowering Riboflavin may be important in the treatment/prevention of hypertension specifically in people with the MTHFR 677TT genotype The typical diet is sub-optimal in folate, and possibly in related B-vitamins 18
