“…A number of European studies have identified low dietary intake of riboflavin (27,53,54) . Furthermore, Troesch et al (55) , reported the percentage of men and women with dietary riboflavin intakes below the recommended nutrient intake using national dietary surveys; intakes were lowest in the Netherlands (25-50 % of men and >50-70 % of women) followed by the UK (5-25 % of men and >25-50 % of women), then Germany (5-25 % of men and women) and the USA (<5 % of men and 5-25 % of women).…”

Riboflavin status, MTHFR genotype and blood pressure: current evidence and implications for personalised nutrition

et al. 2016

Clinical deficiency of the B-vitamin riboflavin (vitamin B 2 ) is largely confined to developing countries; however accumulating evidence indicates that suboptimal riboflavin status is a widespread problem across the developed world. Few international data are available on riboflavin status as measured by the functional biomarker, erythrocyte glutathione reductase activation coefficient, considered to be the gold standard index. One important role of riboflavin in the form of flavin dinucleotide is as a co-factor for the folate-metabolising enzyme methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR). Homozygosity for the common C677T polymorphism in MTHFR, affecting over 10 % of the UK and Irish populations and up to 32 % of other populations worldwide, has been associated with an increased risk of CVD, and more recently with hypertension. This review will explore available studies reporting riboflavin status worldwide, the interaction of riboflavin with the MTHFR C677T polymorphism and the potential role of riboflavin in personalised nutrition. Evidence is accumulating for a novel role of riboflavin as an important modulator of blood pressure (BP) specifically in individuals with the MTHFR 677TT genotype, with results from a number of recent randomised controlled trials demonstrating that riboflavin supplementation can significantly reduce systolic BP by 5-13 mmHg in these genetically at risk adults. Studies are however required to investigate the BP-lowering effect of riboflavin in different populations and in response to doses higher than 1·6 mg/d. Furthermore, work focusing on the translation of this research to health professionals and patients is also required.Riboflavin: Methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase: MTHFR C677T: Blood pressure:Personalised nutrition Riboflavin (vitamin B 2 ) is a water-soluble B-vitamin defined chemically as 7,8-dimethyl-10-1′-D-ribityl isoalloxazine. It acts as a precursor for FMN and FAD (1) . Clinical riboflavin deficiency is not generally considered to be a problem in the developed world but in recent years evidence has shown that sub-optimal status may be more widespread than generally perceived based on studies reporting the functional biomarker, erythrocyte glutathione reductase activation coefficient (EGRac) generally considered as the gold standard index of status. Few international data are however available based on EGRac and reports on riboflavin status are more commonly based solely on dietary intake data. Although riboflavin is required for numerous metabolic reactions its role (in the form of FAD) as a cofactor for the folatemetabolising enzyme, methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) has recently received particular attention. Homozygosity (MTHFR 677TT genotype) for a common polymorphism in MTHFR, affecting over 10 % of the UK and Irish populations and up to 32 % of other populations worldwide (2) , has been associated with an increased risk of CVD (3) and more recently with hypertension (4) . Emerging evidence from intervention trials supports a novel role for riboflav...

The impact of voluntary food fortification on micronutrient intakes and status in European countries: a review

2013

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This review aims to assess the efficacy and safety of voluntary fortification as an option to address the occurrence of inadequate micronutrient intakes in population subgroups in Europe. Although legislation is harmonised across the European Union, fortification practices and patterns of consumption of fortified foods vary considerably between countries. While the proportion of children consuming fortified foods is greater than adults, the proportion of dietary energy obtained from fortified foods is generally low (<10% in Ireland, where fortified foods are widely consumed). There are a few systematic studies on the overall nutritional impact of voluntary fortification, but there are several studies on the impact of fortified ready-to-eat breakfast cereals. The available evidence indicates that voluntary fortification can reduce the risk of sub-optimal intakes of a range of micronutrients at a population level and can also improve status for selected micronutrients (e.g. folate, vitamin D and riboflavin) in children and adults. Although concerns have been raised regarding the potential of food fortification to lead to unacceptably high micronutrient intakes, particularly for those consuming higher amounts of fortified foods, data from national surveys on total micronutrient intakes (including fortified foods) in Europe show that small proportions of the population, particularly children, may exceed the upper intake level (UL) for some micronutrients.

“…1987), although in the 1995 national survey breakfast appeared to provide less of the daily 8 energy, sugar, fibre and folate intake and more of the iron and calcium than reported in those 9 previous studies. It has been reported in other studies that intakes of vitamins and minerals missed when 24 breakfast is skipped are not fully compensated during the rest of the day (Zabik 1987;Nicklas 25 et al 1993;Preziosi et al 1999), therefore it is likely that breakfast skippers would have poorer 26 diets over the whole day. One previous survey of Australian 18-year olds found that not eating 27 breakfast was associated with lower intakes of calcium, iron and dietary fibre (Milligan et al 28 1998).…”

Although some nutrient intakes were not normally distributed, nonetheless the 12 differences between the median and mean intakes of almost all nutrients were less than 10%, In some other studies it has been reported that breakfast consumption is associated with a 17 lower daily fat intake (Gibson & O'Sullivan 1995;MacDiarmid et al 1997;Schmidt et al 18 1998;Preziosi et al 1999;Nicklas et al 2000), although in the Bogalusa Heart Study, the 19 percentage of total energy from fat was lower in children who did not eat breakfast (Nicklas et 20 al. 1993).…”

The aim of this study was to describe the nutrients provided to Australian children and adolescents by the breakfast meal and compare the food and nutrient intakes and health of regular breakfast eaters (those who ate breakfast five or more days a week) and skippers (who are breakfast rarely or never). The Australian Bureau of Statistics was commissioned to undertake additional analysis of data collected in the 1995 Australian National Nutrition Survey. The survey included 24-hour recalls, physical measurements and a food habits questionnaire collected during the period February 1995 to March 1996, with a nationally representative sample of 3007 Australians aged between 2 and 18 years. The median nutrient intakes at breakfast and the proportion of the daily total contributed by breakfast were calculated. Differences between regular breakfast eaters and breakfast skippers in terms of nutrient intake, BMI and health status were compared using student t-tests. The findings show the typical breakfast consumed by young Australians was low in fat, high in carbohydrate and a good source of thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, calcium and magnesium. Those who didn't eat breakfast cereal were much more likely to have inadequate nutrient intakes, especially of thiamin, riboflavin, calcium, magnesium and iron. There was no difference between the fat intake or the BMI of regular breakfast eaters compared to breakfast skippers. Regular breakfast consumption is associated with better diets for children and adolescents.
