Prevalent low Mediterranean diet adherence and low folate status in a Spanish Km 0 Mediterranean coast population
High vs low MDA was associated with better folate intake and status but this was not true for the other vitamins. Only 17.4 % of the population had high MDA and folate deficiency still occurred in this group. A fortification policy may be required, to prevent folate deficiency in the population.
