Overview
Secondary Prevention
Continued folic acid supplementation is necessary in certain conditions with poor folate absorption or ongoing losses (e.g., celiac disease, chronic hemolytic disease) and states of increased demand (e.g., pregnancy, lactation, prematurity). National food fortification can prevent folate deficiency on a larger scale. This can positively affect the folate status of the population at large especially for the high risk groups such as pregnant and lactating women and older people.
