<p>Importing a new version from external source</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>Vitamin B&lt;sub&gt;12&lt;/sub&gt; deficiency is most commonly caused by malabsorption, but can also result from low intake, immune gastritis, low presence of binding proteins, or use of certain medications. [[Vegan]]s—people who choose to not consume any animal-sourced foods—are at risk because plant-sourced foods do not contain the vitamin in sufficient amounts to prevent vitamin deficiency. [[Vegetarianism|Vegetarians]]—people who consume animal byproducts such as dairy products and eggs, but not the flesh of any animal—are also at risk. Vitamin B&lt;sub&gt;12&lt;/sub&gt; deficiency has been observed in between 40% and 80% of the vegetarian population who do not also take a vitamin B&lt;sub&gt;12&lt;/sub&gt; supplement or consume vitamin-fortified food. In Hong Kong and India, vitamin B&lt;sub&gt;12&lt;/sub&gt; deficiency has been found in roughly 80% of the vegan population. As with vegetarians, vegans can avoid this by consuming a dietary supplement or eating B&lt;sub&gt;12&lt;/sub&gt; fortified food such as cereal, plant-based milks, and [[nutritional yeast]] as a regular part of their diet. The elderly are at increased risk because they tend to produce less [[stomach acid]] as they age, a condition known as [[achlorhydria]], thereby increasing their probability of B&lt;sub&gt;12&lt;/sub&gt; deficiency due to reduced absorption.</div>
