Abstract

A poster describes riboflavin deficiency in Cambodia, with only 13% and 8% of women having a normal riboflavin status (EGRac ≤1.3) in urban Phnom Penh and rural Prey Veng, respectively. Although a significantly higher proportion of Canadian women were riboflavin sufficient (p<0.001), 67% of Canadians did not have an optimal status (EGRac >1.3).
