The Claim
Obese adults with multiple micronutrient deficiencies who received a bariatric-specific multivitamin had a 92% adherence rate, while those receiving conventional targeted supplementation had a 70% adherence rate, indicating that simplified regimens are associated with higher treatment compliance in preoperative nutritional optimization.
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
Among obese adults with multiple micronutrient deficiencies, those taking a bariatric-specific multivitamin followed their regimen 92% of the time, while those taking standard supplements followed theirs 70% of the time.
See the scientific wording
Obese adults with multiple micronutrient deficiencies who received a bariatric-specific multivitamin reported 92% adherence compared to 70% adherence among those receiving conventional targeted supplementation, indicating that simplified regimens may improve treatment compliance in preoperative nutritional optimization.

What the research says
