Background: Crohn's disease (CD) can commonly involve the terminal ileum, which is the site of B 12 absorption. The aim of this study was to define the prevalence of vitamin B 12 abnormalities in a population with CD and to identify risk factors associated with B 12 abnormalities in CD. ## Methods:
