Red blood cell folate levels in Canadian Inuit women of childbearing years
While mean levels of folate reached target levels, this was largely driven by the small number of women taking vitamin supplements.

Initiatives to improve food security, culturally relevant education on folate-rich traditional foods, vitamin supplements, and smoking cessation/reduction programs may benefit Inuit women and improve birth outcomes
Vitamin D status in mothers with pre-eclampsia and their infants
Objective The objective of the present study was to determine if vitamin D intake and status are associated with pre-eclampsia in a country without a vitamin D fortification policy. Design A case–control study of pregnancies with (case) and without (control) pre-eclampsia was conducted from January to April when UVB is minimal. Maternal and cord blood obtained at delivery were measured for plasma 25-hydroxycholecalciferol (25-OH-D 3 ), 3-epimer o…
Low prevalence of iron-deficiency anaemia among Inuit preschool children
Objective To report the prevalence rates and correlates for anaemia, iron deficiency (ID) and iron-deficiency anaemia (IDA) among Inuit preschool-aged children. Design A cross-sectional study assessed iron intake, demographic information, medical history, anthropometrics, Hb, ferritin, C-reactive protein and antibodies to Helicobacter pylori . Setting Sixteen selected Inuit communities in Nunavut Territory, Canada. Subjects Inuit ( n 388) aged 3–…
