Preconception folic acid supplement use in immigrant women (1999-2016)
This study examines how preconception folic acid supplement use varied in immigrant women compared with non-immigrant women. We analyzed national population-based data from Norway from 1999–2016, including 1,055,886 pregnancies, of which 202,234 and 7,965 were to 1st and 2nd generation immigrant wom...

This study suggests that immigrant women from a number of countries are less likely to use preconception folic acid supplements than non-immigrant women, even many years after settlement. publishedVersion Article in Journal/Newspaper Iceland Høgskulen på Vestlandet: HVL Open Norway Nutrients 11 10 2300 |
