This study examined the association between combined vitamin D and B12 status and cognitive, affective, and frailty outcomes in hospitalised older adults, and formally tested for an interaction between the two deficiencies. Methods: This cross-sectional study included 1359 consecutive patients aged 65 years or older admitted for comprehensive geriatric assessment in Cluj-Napoca, Romania, between January 2023 and April 2026, with concurrent serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D and vitamin B12 measurements. Patients were classified as having no deficiency, isolated vitamin D deficiency (&lt;20 ng\/mL), isolated vitamin B12 deficiency (&lt;200 pg\/mL), or co-deficiency, and outcomes were compared by multivariable regression with a formal interaction term. Results: Co-deficiency affected 96 patients (7.1%). Isolated vitamin D deficiency was independently associated with poorer cognition and greater frailty, while isolated B12 deficiency showed no association with any outcome. Co-deficient patients carried the heaviest cognitive burden of all groups and showed a signal of elevated depressive symptoms that was significant at the primary B12 threshold but attenuated at an alternative threshold, indicating this finding should be interpreted cautiously; no interaction term reached significance. Conclusions: Vitamin D deficiency, alone or combined with B12 deficiency, consistently tracked with poorer cognition and frailty, and co-deficiency marked the subgroup at greatest cognitive and affective risk through an additive rather than synergistic mechanism. These findings support routine vitamin D assessment in geriatric practice, with concurrent B12 deficiency flagging patients who warrant closer attention.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/nu18183078","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,21]],"date-time":"2026-09-21T12:50:03Z","timestamp":1789995003000},"page":"3078","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["The Double-Deficient Older Inpatient: Vitamin D and Vitamin B12 Co-Deficiency Identifies the Greatest Cognitive and Affective Burden"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"18","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2656-3234","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Lucretia","family":"Avram","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Geriatrics\u2014Gerontology, Department 5\u2014Medical Specicalties, Faculty of Medicine, \u201cIuliu Hatieganu\u201d University of Medicine and Pharmacy, 400012 Cluj-Napoca, Romania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0231-2131","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Valer","family":"Donca","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Geriatrics\u2014Gerontology, Department 5\u2014Medical Specicalties, Faculty of Medicine, \u201cIuliu Hatieganu\u201d University of Medicine and Pharmacy, 400012 Cluj-Napoca, Romania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0005-7626-1869","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Tudor","family":"Cosma","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Regional Institute of Gastroenterology and Hepatology \u201cProf. Dr. Octavian Fodor\u201d, Faculty of Medicine, \u201cIuliu Hatieganu\u201d University of Medicine and Pharmacy, 400012 Cluj-Napoca, Romania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5463-5317","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Diana","family":"Moldovan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Nephrology, Faculty of Medicine, \u201cIuliu Hatieganu\u201d University of Medicine and Pharmacy, 400012 Cluj-Napoca, Romania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0005-0262","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Corina","family":"Radu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Regional Institute of Gastroenterology and Hepatology \u201cProf. Dr. Octavian Fodor\u201d, Faculty of Medicine, \u201cIuliu Hatieganu\u201d University of Medicine and Pharmacy, 400012 Cluj-Napoca, Romania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1627-9670","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Dana","family":"Crisan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Internal Medicine, Department 4\u20135th Medical Clinic, Faculty of Medicine, \u201cIuliu Hatieganu\u201d University of Medicine and Pharmacy, 400012 Cluj-Napoca, Romania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,20]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1196","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(09)61460-4","article-title":"Ageing populations: The challenges ahead","volume":"374","author":"Christensen","year":"2009","journal-title":"Lancet"},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Finta, H., Avram, C., Buicu, C.F., Ceana, D.E., Moldovan, I., and Ruta, F.
