A new study revealed that the low levels of vitamins and minerals necessary for the body’s health functions are common in people with type 2 diabetes.
The results indicated that vitamin D deficiency is the most common. The study showed that women in general are more vulnerable than men at the risk of these elements, and this condition is called “hidden hunger”.
The study was conducted by researchers from the International Health Administration Research Institute, New Delhi in India, and its results were published in BMJ Nutrition Prevention & Health on January 29 last January and wrote about Yurrick Alert.
The researchers tried to determine the global spread of microorganisms (vitamins and minerals that the body needs in very small quantities) in people with type II diabetes by examining related studies.
Their analysis included 132 studies, which included more than 52,000 participants, and published between 1998 and 2023. The collected data analysis showed that the prevalence of microfinances among people with type 2 diabetes varies all over the world, and this may be due to various eating habits, lifestyle choices and cultural practices, as researchers see.
The very low level of vitamin D was the most common microorganism, affecting 60.5% of people with type 2 diabetes.
The deficiency of magnesium was also common, as it affected 42%, while the spread of iron deficiency was 28%. The prevalence of vitamin B12 deficiency in the world was 29%, and it was higher among patients taking Metformin diabetes.
The advanced analysis of the collected data showed that the prevalence rate was higher among women with this condition, compared to men by about 49%.
