Abstract
In most people, the diet easily provides an abundance of vitamin B12. However, with increasing age, deficiency becomes more common because the vitamin is not being properly absorbed. The authors describe the important new information that research has provided and its immediate clinical relevance concerning early diagnosis and treatment of vitamin B12 deficiency.Keywords
