Introduction: Holo-Transcobalamin (holo-TC) is the biologically active form of vitamin B12. While severe vitamin B12 deficiency has well known clinical consequences, the relation of holo-TC within the physiological range to various health parameters in the general population is largely unknown. Objectives: We aimed to identify cross-sectional metabolic and lifestyle correlates of serum holo-TC in a population-based sample from Northern Germany (n=874, female share 43.7%, median age 62.2 [54.3; 70.9] years). Methods: Holo-TC was measured in serum samples applying electro-chemiluminescence. Significant metabolic a…
