London: Medical experts have reached the conclusion, after a study, that vitamin B12 deficiency in older age contributes to physical fatigue.
Instructions have been issued by experts for pregnant women or elderly individuals who experience fatigue or stumble while standing, to undergo a vitamin B12 test.
According to experts, one in ten individuals over the age of 75 suffers from vitamin B12 deficiency, which can lead to anemia, fatigue, dizziness, balance issues, and cognitive impairment. This vitamin is commonly found in fish, meat, poultry, eggs, and dairy products, but certain medications and autoimmune conditions can impede its absorption in the body.
The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) has issued new guidelines stating that if an individual exhibits any one symptom, they should undergo a blood test. Factors related to this condition include age (especially individuals over 65 years), gastrointestinal surgery, and type 1 diabetes.
