About this study

Official title: Correspondence of Dietary Intake and Biomarker Data

This NHANES analysis compares self-reported dietary folate with serum and red blood cell folate status in U.S. adults.

Read the detailed description

Background: Public health concerns of both low and high folate status exist in the U.S. Recent publications have questioned the utility of self-reported dietary intake data in research and monitoring.

Objective: The purpose of this analysis was to examine the relationship between self-reported folate intakes and folate status biomarkers, and to evaluate their usefulness for several types of applications.

Design: Usual dietary intakes of folate were examined using the National Cancer Institute (NCI) method to adjust 2, 24-hour dietary recalls (including dietary supplements) for within-person variation and compared these intakes with serum and red blood cell (RBC) folate among 4,878 non-pregnant, non-lactating participants ≥19y in NHANES 2011-2012, a nationally representative, cross-sectional survey, with respect to consistency across prevalence estimates and rank order comparisons.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Folate Deficiency, run by National Institute of Health and Nutrition.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 Mar 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Folate status (time frame: Up to 24 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 24 Mar 2017.
