Serum vitamin B12, folic acid, ferritin and haematological variables were investigated in six hundred and seven women from 12 villages of 3 districts namely Chumpae, Srichumpu and Pupaman of Khon Kaen province, Northeast Thailand within the age range of 15-45 years. The cut-off point of haemoglobin concentration < 12 g/dl was applied for defining the normal and anaemic group (17.3%). The result showed that the concentration of ferritin, folic acid and vitamin B12 in the anaemic group were less than that of the normal group. Forty six out of 607 women or 7.6 per cent were found to be undernourished and 27.2 per cent of females were overnourished. The prevalence of deficiencies of vitamin B12, folic acid and ferritin were 6.3 per cent, 4.3 per cent and 12.5 per cent respectively.
在泰国东北部孔敬府春派、诗里春普和普帕曼3个区的12个村庄中，对607名年龄在15至45岁之间的女性进行了血清维生素B12、叶酸、铁蛋白和血液学指标的调查。血红蛋白浓度<12 g/dl的临界值被用于定义正常组和贫血组（17.3%）。结果显示，贫血组中铁蛋白、叶酸和维生素B12的浓度低于正常组。607名女性中有46名（即7.6%）被发现营养不良，27.2%的女性营养过剩。维生素B12、叶酸和铁蛋白缺乏的患病率分别为6.3%、4.3%和12.5%。
