Abstract
With Streptococcus faecalis R as a microbiological test organism, 30 geriatric women (average age 82.3 years) and 22 controls (women, average age 34.6 years) were examined for spontaneous 24-hour excretion of folic acid. The average for the former group was 0.7 [plus or minus] 0.4, and for the latter 4.5 [plus or minus] 0.3 [mu]g/24 hours. The difference is statistically significant.Keywords
