The study noted: “The study enrolled 976 patients (obesity: 414, overweight: 212, and control: 351).

“Vitamin B12 level was significantly lower in patients with obesity and overweight than healthy individuals.”

The study concluded that low vitamin B12 level was associated with obesity and overweight, but not with insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome, and gender.
