effects of a 3 month Dietary intervention with a lacto ovo Vegetarian Diet on vitamin b 12 levels in a group of omnivores results from the cardiveg cardiovascular prevention with Vegetarian Diet study
British Journal of Nutrition, 2019Co-Authors: Monica Dinu, Giuditta Pagliai, Francesca Cesari, Anna Maria Gori, Rossella Marcucci, Alessandro Casini, Betti Giusti, Francesco SofiAbstract:Previous studies have suggested that Vegetarianism can result in a reduction of vitamin B₁₂ circulating levels. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of a 3-month Dietary intervention with a lacto-ovo-Vegetarian Diet (VD) on the levels of circulating vitamin B₁₂ in a group of omnivores. We analysed fifty-four omnivorous subjects who followed a VD as a first Dietary intervention within the CARDIVEG (Cardiovascular Prevention with Vegetarian Diet) study, a Dietary intervention study. VD resulted in a significant reduction (P<0·001) of 51·2 % of vitamin B₁₂ intake and in a significant reduction (P=0·005) of 6·2 % of the circulating levels of vitamin B₁₂ (–24·5 pg/ml). Changes in vitamin B₁₂ intake were significantly correlated with changes in circulating levels of vitamin B₁₂ (R 0·61, P<0·001). Subgroup analyses showed that reduction in circulating vitamin B₁₂ levels was more evident in participants who were younger, overweight, non-smokers and had hypercholesterolaemia. A logistic regression analysis showed that a reduction in vitamin B₁₂ intake greater than the first quartile of the delta changes obtained in the study population (–28·5 %) conferred a significantly higher risk of experiencing a decrease in circulating vitamin B₁₂ levels (OR 10·1; 95 % CI 1·3, 76·1). In conclusion, a 3-month VD period determined a significant reduction in circulating levels of vitamin B₁₂, being significantly correlated with the reduction in vitamin B₁₂ intake. Although a well-planned VD can provide adequate nutrition across all life stages, special care must be taken to ensure adequate vitamin B₁₂ intake and to help prevent deficiency.

Circulation, 2018Co-Authors: Francesco Sofi, Monica Dinu, Giuditta Pagliai, Francesca Cesari, Anna Maria Gori, Alice Sereni, Matteo Becatti, Claudia Fiorillo, Rossella Marcucci, Alessandro CasiniAbstract:Background: Only a few randomized Dietary intervention studies that investigated the effects of lacto-ovo Vegetarian Diet (Vd) in clinically healthy omnivorous subjects are available. Methods: We randomly assigned to overweight omnivores with a low-to-moderate cardiovascular risk profile a low-calorie Vd compared with a low-calorie Mediterranean Diet (MD), each lasting 3 months, with a crossover design. The primary outcome was the difference in body weight, body mass index, and fat mass changes between the 2 groups. Secondary outcomes were differences in circulating cardiovascular disease risk parameters changes between the 2 groups. Results: One hundred eighteen subjects (mean age: 51.1 years, females: 78%) were enrolled. The total participation rate at the end of the study was 84.7%. No differences between the 2 Diets in body weight were observed, as reported by similar and significant reductions obtained by both Vd (−1.88 kg) and MD (−1.77 kg). Similar results were observed for body mass index and fat mass. In contrast, significant differences between the 2 interventions were obtained for low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, triglycerides, and vitamin B 12 levels. The difference between the Vd and MD groups, in terms of end-of-Diet values, was recorded at 9.10 mg/dL for low-density lipoprotein cholesterol ( P =0.01), 12.70 mg/dL for triglycerides ( P 12 ( P Conclusions: Both Vd and MD were effective in reducing body weight, body mass index, and fat mass, with no significant differences between them. However, Vd was more effective in reducing low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels, whereas MD led to a greater reduction in triglyceride levels.
