Folic Acid Fortification Tied to a 19% Decline In Neural Tube Defects.
The prevalence of neural tube defects at birth has declined by 19% since the mandatory addition of folic acid to fortified grain products began in January 1998.
In a comparison of birth certificate data for live births to women in a total of 45 states and the District of Columbia, the prevalence of spina bifida and anencephaly decreased from 37.8 per 100,000 live births from October 1995 to December 1996, to 30.5 per 100,000 live births from October 1998 to December 1999, reported Dr. Margaret A. Honein and her associates at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The prevalence of spina bifida and anencephaly declined 23% and 11%, respectively; over the periods studied (JAMA 285[23]:298186, 2001).
