Deficiency of B vitamins in women of childbearing age, pregnant, and lactating women in Brazil: a systematic review.
Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of B-complex vitamin deficiencies in Brazilian women of childbearing age, pregnant women, and lactating women.
Methods: This systematic review analyzed cross-sectional and cohort studies published up to August 2023 and indexed in MEDLINE, SciELO, LILACS, Scopus, Embase, Web of Science, and the Brazilian Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations. Additional data were obtained by contacting researchers from Brazilian public universities. Studies assessing deficiency rates using biochemical markers were included. Two reviewers independently selected studies, extracted data, and assessed methodological quality using the Joanna Briggs Institute tool.
Results: Of the 3772 records identified, 13 studies were included. Only folate (n = 13), B12 (n = 11), and B6 (n = 1) deficiencies were investigated, and all studies were cross-sectional. B12 deficiency prevalence varied widely, reaching up to 29.4%. Folate deficiencies were generally low, with only one study reporting a rate as high as 37%. Other B-complex vitamins were insufficiently studied. Most studies had methodological limitations, particularly small sample sizes. The significant heterogeneity across studies limited the feasibility of a pooled quantitative meta-analysis.
Conclusion: There is a clear need for more robust studies across all Brazilian regions to improve understanding of vitamin deficiency rates and to support effective nutritional interventions.
期刊介绍：
Systematic Reviews encompasses all aspects of the design, conduct and reporting of systematic reviews. The journal publishes high quality systematic review products including systematic review protocols, systematic reviews related to a very broad definition of health, rapid reviews, updates of already completed systematic reviews, and methods research related to the science of systematic reviews, such as decision modelling. At this time Systematic Reviews does not accept reviews of in vitro studies. The journal also aims to ensure that the results of all well-conducted systematic reviews are published, regardless of their outcome.
