Sponsor's own description
Question: How effective is fortified iodized salt in increasing serum concentrations of folate, B12 and iron among non-pregnant and non-lactating women of reproductive age? Hypothesis: Micronutrient fortified iodized salt can increase serum levels (of folate, B12 and iron) and serve as a policy consideration in salt fortification with both iodine and other micronutrients to reduce serious and fatal birth defects.
