TL;DR: The epidemiology and causes of cobalamin deficiency in elderly people, with an emphasis on food-cobalamin malabsorption syndrome, are reviewed, and diagnostic and management strategies for cobalamina deficiency are reviewed.

TL;DR: Moderate but regular physical activity is associated with a reduction in total mortality among older people, a positive effect on primary prevention of coronary heart disease and a significant benefit on the lipid profile.

TL;DR: This study, based on real data from a single institution with a large number of consecutive patients with well-documented cobalamin deficiency, confirms several 'older' findings that were previously reported before the 1990s.

TL;DR: The ageing process is intrinsically associated with decline in physical endurance, muscle strength and gait ability and balance, which all contribute to functional disability.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors studied 92 elderly patients with well-established food-cobalamin malabsorption (FCM) who were extracted from an observational cohort study (1995-2004) of 172 consecutive elderly patients having documented cobalamin deficiency.
