Micronutrient inadequacies are common in older adults and using a multivitamin/multimineral supplement (MVM) may improve their nutritional status. National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey data were analyzed to determine micronutrient intakes based on diet and MVM use in adults aged ≥51 years. Deficiencies were evaluated using nutrient biomarkers. The National Cancer Institute Method was used to estimate usual intakes of 18 micronutrients stratified by age and frequency of MVM use. Compared with food alone, MVM use was associated with higher nutrient intake and lower prevalence of inadequacies of almost all micronutrients examined and improved nutrient biomarker status of folate, iodine, selenium, and vitamins B, B, and D. Regular MVM use (≥16 days/month) decreased the odds of clinical deficiency (defined by biomarker status) of vitamins B and D but increased the proportion exceeding the tolerable upper intake level of folic acid. Vitamin B deficiency in MVM non-users was common and increased with age.
微量营养素摄入不足在老年人中很常见,服用多种维生素/多种矿物质补充剂(MVM)可能会改善他们的营养状况。分析了美国国家健康与营养检查调查数据,以确定51岁及以上成年人基于饮食和MVM使用情况的微量营养素摄入量。使用营养生物标志物评估缺乏情况。采用美国国立癌症研究所的方法来估计18种微量营养素的通常摄入量,并按年龄和MVM使用频率进行分层。与仅通过食物摄入相比,使用MVM与更高的营养素摄入量相关,几乎所有检测的微量营养素摄入不足的患病率更低,并且叶酸、碘、硒以及维生素B、B和D的营养生物标志物状态得到改善。定期使用MVM(每月≥16天)降低了维生素B和D临床缺乏(由生物标志物状态定义)的几率,但增加了超过叶酸可耐受最高摄入量水平的比例。不使用MVM的人群中维生素B缺乏很常见,且随着年龄增长而增加。
