不同人群叶酸营养状况的研究进展

Research progress of the status of folate nutrition of different populations

作为一种辅因子 ,叶酸参加了多种细胞间重要的反应。随着研究的进展 ,叶酸对人体的营养作用也越来越为人们重视。虽然叶酸和贫血的关系很早以前就已明确得到证实 ,但不同人群、不同地区的叶酸营养状况及在防治贫血中应用还不十分明确。半个世纪以来人们一直在加强对不同人群叶酸营养状况的监测并积极的探讨一些切实、有效、科学的防治措施。本文拟对近年来的监测状况和防治措施作以综述 ,并积极的建议加强对我国高危人群叶酸营养状况的调查并采取及时有效改善措施。

Folate is an essential nutrient of the B complex group of vitamins,as a cofactor,involving in numerous important intracellular reactions.The role of folate in human nutrition has become increasingly important with recent researches.While the relation between folate and anemia had been substantiated long ago,the difference of the folate nutritional status among populations and regions and the application of folate to preventing and curing anemia have not been definitely stated.However,scientists have always been active in detecting the status of folate nutrition of different populations and exploring practical、effective and scientific measures to prevent anemia for half a century.The surveillance for folate nutritional status and its application to preventing or curing anemia in recent years were summarized.In this article,It is suggested that the nutritional status of folate of the people at risk should be carefully monitored and effective measures be taken promptly in our country.
