Biochemical Indicators of Vitamin A Deficiency: Serum Retinol and Serum Retinol Binding Protein1
ABSTRACT Two biochemical indicators are currently recommended for determining whether vitamin A deficiency (VAD) is a public health problem: serum retinol and serum retinol-binding protein (RBP). After consideration of 40 data sets and the original rationale for previously proposed cut-offs, a cut-off for serum retinol concentration was proposed at <0.70 (mu)mol/L (20 (mu)g/dL) in >=15% of the sampled population. This ...
