Vitamin intake and its association with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) among Malaysian adults
This study found an alarming deficiency of vitamins A, B6, B9, B12, C, E, and K in the dietary intake among the Malaysian adult population regardless of T2DM status. The dietary vitamin deficiency (vitamins B6, B9, B12, E, and K) was more susceptible among those with T2DM compared to non-T2DM. This study indicated that higher dietary vitamin intake (vitamins A, B6, B9, B12, C, E, and K) could benefit by reducing the prevalence of T2DM. Therefore, an adequate intake of dietary vitamins is crucial for this study population to reduce the prevalence of T2DM.
