Racial disparities in selected micronutrient deficiencies after bariatric surgery: A systematic review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Bariatric surgery has been associated with numerous micronutrient deficiencies. Several observational studies have found that these deficiencies are more common in racially/ethnically minoritized patients.

Objectives
