Selhub J, Morris MS, Jacques PF, Rosenberg IH. Folate–vitamin B-12 interaction in relation to cognitive impairment, anemia, and biochemical indicators of vitamin B-12 deficiency. Am J Clin Nutr 2009,89(suppl):702S–6S.
On page 704S, the third sentence in the second paragraph of the Results and Discussion section included values in parentheses that were erroneously transposed. The sentence should read as follows:
We also noted with interest that, in the Nurses' Health Study, although multivitamin users in the highest plasma vitamin B-12 quartile category preformed somewhat better on cognitive function tests than did subjects who did not use supplements and were in the lowest quartile category for plasma vitamin B-12 (mean difference in global cognitive score: 0.19; 95% CI: –0.01, 0.40), multivitamin users who were, nevertheless, in the lowest vitamin B-12 quartile category performed worse than the comparison subjects (mean difference in global cognitive score: –0.18; 95% CI: –043, 0.07) (21).
In addition, on page 706S, reference 21 should read as follows: Kang JH, Irizarry MC, Grodstein F. Prospective study of plasma folate, vitamin B-12, and cognitive function and decline. Epidemiology 2006;17:650–7.
