“…In general, previous research has identified obese children as being at a higher risk of cobalamin deficiency [40]. These findings are supported by multiple studies reporting malnutrition associated with overweight and obesity in children, due to poor dietary content, and repeated short-term restrictive diets combined with increased nutritional requirements, leading to vitamin and mineral deficiencies [41][42][43]. Since cobalamin and folate play a pivotal role in metabolism, special attention should be paid not only to calorie reduction but also to promoting a nutrientdense diet in overweight and obese children to ensure sufficient growth and development.…”

This study proposes age- and sex-specific percentiles for serum cobalamin and folate, and analyzes the effects of sex, age, body mass index (BMI), and socioeconomic status (SES) on cobalamin and folate concentrations in healthy children and adolescents. In total, 4478 serum samples provided by healthy participants (2 months–18.0 years) in the LIFE (Leipzig Research Centre for Civilization Diseases) Child population-based cohort study between 2011 and 2015 were analyzed by electrochemiluminescence immunoassay (ECLIA). Continuous age-and sex-related percentiles (2.5th, 10th, 50th, 90th, 97.5th) were estimated, applying Cole’s LMS method. In both sexes, folate concentrations decreased continuously with age, whereas cobalamin concentration peaked between three and seven years of age and declined thereafter. Female sex was associated with higher concentrations of both vitamins in 13- to 18-year-olds and with higher folate levels in one- to five-year-olds. BMI was inversely correlated with concentrations of both vitamins, whilst SES positively affected folate but not cobalamin concentrations. To conclude, in the assessment of cobalamin and folate status, the age- and sex-dependent dynamic of the respective serum concentrations must be considered. While BMI is a determinant of both vitamin concentrations, SES is only associated with folate concentrations.

“…However, several studies have assessed that children with malnutrition related to overweight, obesity, and metabolic syndrome are at increased risk of mineral and vitamin deficiencies [ 88 , 89 ]. Hence, reduced vitamin B12 and folate serum levels may be caused by poor dietary content; short-term, repeated restricted diets; or increased requirements [ 11 , 89 ].…”

Micronutrient Deficiency in Children and Adolescents with Obesity—A Narrative Review

et al. 2023

Childhood obesity represents a serious public health burden. Despite excessive dietary consumption, children with obesity present high rates of micronutrient deficiencies, such as deficiencies in minerals and specific vitamins; micronutrient deficiencies may have a pathogenic role in obesity-related metabolic comorbidities. In this narrative review, we analyzed the main deficiencies associated with obesity, their clinical consequences, and the evidence about a possible supplementation. Iron; vitamins A, B, C, D, and E; folic acid; zinc; and copper deficiencies represent the most common deficient microelements. The relationship between obesity and multiple micronutrient deficiencies remains unclear, and different mechanisms have been proposed. The medical care plan for pediatric obesity should include food choices with high nutritional content as part of a crucial approach to obesity-related complications. Unfortunately, only a few studies are available regarding the efficacy of oral supplementation or weight loss for treating them; thus, continuous nutritional monitoring is necessary.
