Assess your potential risk of Vitamin B12 deficiency by selecting the symptoms and risk factors that apply to you.
Your total risk score is: 0
Based on your selections, your estimated risk of Vitamin B12 deficiency is: 0
The calculator totals points from your selected symptoms and risk factors to provide a concise risk estimate.
Key formula: total_risk_score = sum(common_symptoms) + sum(risk_factors)
total_risk_score = sum(common_symptoms) + sum(risk_factors)
Example values: 3 symptoms selected and 2 risk factors selected.
total_risk_score = 7
No. It is a screening tool to estimate risk and does not replace clinical evaluation or laboratory testing.
Risk factors reflect underlying causes that increase likelihood of deficiency, so they carry greater weight in the scoring model.
Diagnosis typically uses serum B12 measurement and may include methylmalonic acid or homocysteine tests for confirmation.
If you score in the moderate or high range or have concerning symptoms, consult a healthcare professional for assessment and testing.
