Abstract
. Currently, few studies have investigated markers of B12 status as a risk factor forfalling in large datasets from older adult populations. Therefore, the objective of this study was to assess markers of B12 status and risk offalling in a sample of Irish older adults ( n 4939) from the Trinity, Ulster, Department of Agriculture (TUDA) observational study.Participants were recruited between March 2009 and May 2012 and markers of vitamin B12 status included total serum B12 (micro-biological assay NCIB 12519, ATCC 43787) and Holo TC (Active B12) (Abbott AxSYM). Serum vitamin D was assessed by LCMS/MS(AB Sciex, USA) and fall related data were collected by health and lifestyle questionnaire.
