Studie kopplar vitamin B12 och folat till trötthet

Svenska

En ny japansk studie har kopplat brist på vitamin B12 och folat till ökad trötthet och minskad motivation hos annars friska vuxna. Forskningen undersökte blodmarkörer och självrapporterade symtom hos omkring 600 deltagare.

Forskare ledda av professor Hiroaki Kanouchi vid Osaka Metropolitan University analyserade blodnivåer av homocystein, folat och vitamin B12. De utvärderade även trötthet med hjälp av Chalder Fatigue Scale och en visuell analog skala, samtidigt som de kontrollerade för faktorer som ålder, sömn, arbetsbelastning och kost.

A study of 440 participants from the Women’s Interagency HIV Study found that accelerated epigenetic aging in monocytes—an immune cell type—tracked more closely with emotional and cognitive depression symptoms such as hopelessness and loss of pleasure than with physical symptoms like fatigue. The work, published in The Journals of Gerontology: Series A, adds evidence that cell-type-specific aging measures could contribute to future biological tools to complement symptom-based depression screening, though researchers say more validation is needed before clinical use.

Study finds lower normal B12 levels tied to brain changes

A University of California San Francisco study has linked lower but still normal levels of active vitamin B12 to slower thinking and white matter damage in healthy older adults. The research, published in Annals of Neurology in 2025, suggests current guidelines may miss early neurological risks. Researchers examined 231 participants with an average age of 71.

Scientists are raising new questions about the relationship between vitamin B12 and cancer risk. While deficiency has long been known to increase dangers, recent studies suggest very high levels may also play a role.

A new perspective article in Frontiers in Nutrition argues that public health advice on protein intake and physical activity is largely designed to prevent deficiency, and that many people may benefit from aiming above today’s minimum recommendations to support strength, independence and cognitive function as they age.
