These studies reported levels of 11 micronutrients: vitamins B9, B12, C, D, E, calcium, magnesium, iron, selenium, copper, and zinc. DFU, compared to healthy controls (HC) had significantly lower vitamin D (MD: -10.82 14 ng\/ml, 95% CI: -20.47, -1.16), magnesium (MD: -0.45 mg\/dL, 95% CI: -0.78, -0.12) and selenium (MD: -0.33 \u00b5mol\/L, 95% CI: -0.34, -0.32) levels. DFU, compared to DM patients without DFU, had significantly lower vitamin D (MD: -5.41 ng\/ml, 95% CI: -8.06, -2.76), and magnesium (MD: -0.20 mg\/dL, 95% CI: -0.25, -0.15) levels. The overall analysis showed lower levels of vitamin D [15.55ng\/ml (95% CI:13.44, 17.65)], vitamin C [4.99\u00b5mol\/L (95% CI:3.16, 6.83)], magnesium [1.53mg\/dL (95% CI:1.28, 1.78)] and selenium [0.54\u00b5mol\/L (95% CI:0.45, 0.64)].<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This review provides evidence that micronutrient levels significantly differ in DFU patients, suggesting an association between micronutrient status and risk of DFU.
