Background: Potential safety concerns relative to impaired cognitive function may exist when high folic acid exposures are combined with low vitamin B-12 status.Objectives: We aimed to examine the relation of the coexistence of high folate and low vitamin B-12 status with cognitive function. utilizing various definitions of "high" folate status.Methods: Cross-sectional data from older adults (>= 60 y; n = 2420) from the 2011-2014 NHANES were analyzed. High folate status wa defined as unmetabolized serum folic acid (UMFA) > 1 nmol/L or serum total folate > 74.1 nmol/L, and low vitamin B-12 status as methylmalonic acid > 271 nmol/L or scrum vitamin B-12 < 150 pmol/L. Logistic regression models estimated ORs of scoring low on 1 of 4 cognitive tests: the Digit Symbol Substitution Test (DSST). the Consortium to Establish a Registry for Alzheimer's Disease Delayed Recall (CERAD-DR) and Word Learning tests, and the Animal Fluency test (AF).Results: A significant interaction was observed relative to scoring low on the DSST (
