[Study of the relationship between indicators of provision with vitamins B2 and B6 of children 7-10 years of age with mental retardation].

Abstract

Study of the vitamin status of 34 children of both sexes aged 7 to 10, pupils of a school for children with mental retardation in the city of Krasnoyarsk revealed that the values of riboflavin and 4-pyridoxic acid excretion per g of creatinine, which are in good correlation with the content of the respective vitamins in the blood, reflect the saturation with these nutrients and may be used for assessing vitamin supply. Excretion of at least 200 mg of riboflavin per g of creatinine corresponds to normal provision of a child with this vitamin.
