Assessing the neurological impact of vitamin B12 deficiency among the population of Riyadh, Saudi Arabia
Overall awareness of vitamin B12 and its neurological consequences was moderate. However, knowledge of dietary sources and prevention strategies was limited, and misperceptions (e.g., fruits and vegetables as sources) were common. Targeted public-health education and nutritional counseling are needed to address these gaps.
