| contents | Vitamin B12 deficit and development of geriatric syndromes José Mauricio Ocampo Chaparro Medicina Elderly Geriatric syndromes vitamin B12 deficiency Vitamin B12 deficiency or cyanocobalamin is a common condition in the elderly. It is repeatedly overlooked due to multiple clinical manifestations that can affect the blood, neurological, gastrointestinal, and cardiovascular systems, skin and mucous membranes. The various presentations of vitamin B12 deficiency are related to the development of geriatric syndromes like frailty, falls, cognitive impairment, and geriatric nutritional syndromes like protein-energy malnutrition and failure to thrive, in addition to enhancing aging anorexia and cachexia. Therefore, interventions must be developed to include their screening and diagnosis to make early and appropriate treatment to prevent its complications before they become irreversible. 2013 artículo científico 0120-8322 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=28325629008 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/283/28325629008/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/283/28325629008/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/283/28325629008/28325629008.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/283/28325629008/movil en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=283 Colombia Médica application/pdf Universidad del Valle Colombia Médica (Colombia) Num.1 Vol.44 |
