Folate status of Ghanaian populations in London and Accra.

The British journal of nutrition - 1 Feb 2010

Owusu Matilda, Thomas Jane, Wiredu Edwin, Pufulete Maria

Abstract excerpt

Migration to the UK is associated with higher incidence of stroke in African populations. A low folate status has been associated with increased risk of stroke, likely to be mediated through raised plasma homocysteine concentrations. We conducted a cross-sectional study to compare blood folate and homocysteine concentrations in eighty healthy Ghanaian migrants living in London matched by sex, age and occupation...
