Background: Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) affect gastric acid secretion. The use of PPIs in the elderly population (> 70 years old) may increase the risk of vitamin B 12 deficiency because gastric acid is needed for vitamin B 12 digestion and absorption. However, it's unclear whether adults ages 50–70 years old that use PPIs chronically are at risk of vitamin B 12 deficiency. Objective: To determine whether chronic use of PPIs results in increased urinary methylmalonic acid (uMMA) levels in adults ages 50–70 years old, indicating vitamin …
