Periconceptional Iron and Folate Status Is Inadequate among Married, Nulliparous Women in Rural Bangladesh
The Journal of Nutrition, 05/04/09

Khambalia A et al. - An unacceptably high percentage of nulliparous women in rural Bangladesh have inadequate iron and folate status. As they enter pregnancy, more than one-third will be anemic, >80% will have inadequate iron stores, and more than one-tenth will be folate deficient. Further research is needed on risk factors of poor nutritional status before the start of a woman's childbearing years.
