Abstract

140 Male migrant workers aged 20–51 years of either Bangladeshi or Indian ethnicity from a single dormitory in Singapore volunteered to participate in the study. In total, 133 blood samples were taken at the start of the study and were used to assess vitamin B12, hemoglobin, ferritin, folate, and zinc status; a sub-sample underwent for homocysteine testing. Anthropometric measurements and vital signs, including height, weight, and blood pressure were recorded before and after the intervention.
