Is Vitamin B12 worth prioritizing?

B12 deficiency is common enough in older adults to warrant real clinical attention, and a systematic review documents meaningful rates of subnormal B12 and associated anaemia in this group. Weighing that against the numbers, Vitamin B12 is not a priority based on current data — the evidence is only moderate (40/100), and its estimated impact (20/100) is on the lower end too.
