The outcome is malnutrition. Malnutrition may also be caused by inadequate diet with or without malabsorption. See also the separate Malnutrition article.[patient.info]
Deficiency may be caused by malabsorption, malnutrition, or an increased demand. The most common underlying cause of vitamin B 12 deficiency is pernicious anemia, an autoimmune disorder characterized by the absence of intrinsic factor (IF).[amboss.com]
