Effects of Dietary Folate, Vitamin B12 and Methionine/Choline Deficiency on Immune Function

  • Chapter
Diet and Resistance to Disease

Abstract

Numerous epidemiological studies have confirmed that a relationship exists between nutritional status and resistance to infection. More recently attention has been focused on the more difficult question of the role of individual nutrients in the proper development and maintenance of the immune system. These parameters are more difficult to assess in human populations because the severe nutritional diseases usually seen (kwashiorkor and marasmus) represent an advanced state where the contribution of a single nutrient cannot be assessed.
