Nutritional status of iron, folate, and vitamin B-12 in vegetarians were assessed and compared with those of non-
vegetarians in Korea. The vegetarian subjects were 54 Buddhist nuns who ate no animal source food except for
dairy products. The non-vegetarians were divided into two groups: 31 Catholic nuns and 31 female college stu-
dents. Three-day dietary records were completed, and the blood samples were collected for analyzing a complete
blood count, and serum levels of ferritin, folate, and vitamin B-12. There was no difference in hemoglobin
among the diet groups. The serum ferritin and hematocrit levels of vegetarians did not differ from that of non-
vegetarian students with a high intake of animal source food but low intake of vitamin C, and the levels were
lower than that of non-vegetarian Catholic nuns with a modest consumption of animal source food and a high in-
take of vitamin C. The serum vitamin B-12 levels of all subjects except one vegetarian and the serum folate lev-
els of all subjects except one non-vegetarian student fell within a normal range. In vegetarians, there was a posi-
tive correlation between the vitamin C intake and serum ferritin levels as well as between the laver intake and se-
rum vitamin B-12 levels. In order to achieve an optimal iron status, both an adequate amount of iron intake and
its bioavailability should be considered. Sufficient intake of vegetables and fruits was reflected in adequate se-
rum folate status. Korean laver can be a good source of vitamin B-12 for vegetarians.

한국에서 채식인들의 철, 엽산, 비타민 B-12의 영양 상태를 비채식인들과 평가 및 비교 하였다.
The vegetarian subjects were 54 Buddhist nuns who ate no animal source food except for
dairy products. The non-vegetarians were divided into two groups: 31 Catholic nuns and 31 female college students.
채식인의 대상은 54명의 유제품을 제외한 동물음식을 먹지 않은 비구니 스님이었다.
비채식인은 두 그룹으로 나뉘어졌다. 31명의 카톨릭 스녀들과 31명의 여자 대학생들.
Three-day dietary records were completed, and the blood samples were collected for analyzing a complete blood count, and serum levels of ferritin, folate, and vitamin B-12. There was no difference in hemoglobin among the diet groups.
삼일간 음식 식사 기록을 완료했고, 페리틴, 엽산, 비타민 B-12의 혈청 수준 및 혈액 검사의 분석을 위해서 혈액셈플을 모았다. 식단 그룹 간의 헤모글로빈 차이는 없었다.
The serum ferritin and hematocrit levels of vegetarians did not differ from that of non-
vegetarian students with a high intake of animal source food but low intake of vitamin C, and the levels were lower than that of non-vegetarian Catholic nuns with a modest consumption of animal source food and a high in-take of vitamin C.
채식인들의 혈청 페리틴과 혈소판 수치는 높은수준의 동물원료음식 섭취와 낮은 수준의 비타민C 섭취한 비채식인 학생들과 차이가 없었다.
그리고 비타민C 의 높은 섭취와 동물원료식품을 보통 섭취한 카톨릭 수녀의 비채식인들 보다는 수준이 낮았다.
The serum vitamin B-12 levels of all subjects except one vegetarian and the serum folate levels of all subjects except one non-vegetarian student fell within a normal range. In vegetarians, there was a positive correlation between the vitamin C intake and serum ferritin levels as well as between the laver intake and serum vitamin B-12 levels. In order to achieve an optimal iron status, both an adequate amount of iron intake and its bioavailability should be considered. Sufficient intake of vegetables and fruits was reflected in adequate serum folate status. Korean laver can be a good source of vitamin B-12 for vegetarians.
한사람의 채식인을 제외한 모든 대상자의 혈청 비타민 B 12 수준과 한명의 비채식인 학생을 제외한 모든 대상자의 혈청 엽산 수준이 정상범위 안에 들어 맞았다.
채식인들에게 있어서 비타민 C 섭취와 혈청 페리틴 수준에 상관 관계가 있었다.
뿐만 아니라 김 섭취와 혈청 비타민 B-12 수준에도 상관 관계가 있었다.
최적의 철분 상태를 달성하기 위해서는 충분한 철분 섭취 량과 생물학적 이용가능성이 모두 고려되어야한다.
