congenital malformations, neural tube defects, anencephaly, iniencephaly, craniorachischisis, spina bifida, encephalocele, population monitoring, seasonality, preconceptional health, folic acid.Abstract
The investigation is dedicated to research of seasonal variations of rates of neural tube defects in the population of Rivne region, Ukraine. Higher rates of NTD was noticed in February and August, but this difference was not statistically significant. The investigation promotes further research on epidemiological characteristics and risk factors of NTD for their better prevention.References
