Question

Deficiencies of fat-soluble vitamins are sometimes seen in people who have a:

a) Fat malabsorption disorder
b) High-fiber diet
c) Excessive sunlight exposure
d) Protein deficiency

Answer 1

Deficiencies of fat-soluble vitamins can occur in people with fat malabsorption disorders.

Step-by-step explanation:

Fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K are absorbed through the intestinal tract with lipids in chylomicrons. Deficiencies in fat-soluble vitamins can occur in people who have fat malabsorption disorders, as the body is unable to absorb these vitamins properly. When there is a reduced ability to absorb fats, the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins is impaired, leading to deficiencies.
