Largest U.S. Study of Pre-conceptional Folic Acid Supplementation Receives March of Dimes Award
5. February 2008 by Lonnie.
DALLAS, TX (Jan. 31, 2008) New research suggests that women who take folic acid supplements for at least one year before they become pregnant can cut their risk of having a premature baby by half.
Researchers at the 28th Annual Society for Maternal-Fetal Medicine (SMFM) meetings ”The Pregnancy Meeting” today unveiled a study linking pre-conceptional folate supplementation of at least one year to reduced early premature delivery rates of 50 to 70 percent, regardless of age, race or other factors. Of particular note is the drop in very early premature births, those babies who are at the greatest risk of complications such as cerebral palsy, mental retardation, chronic lung disease, and blindness.
