Definition | Selenium deficiency is relatively rare in healthy well-nourished individuals. It can occur in patients with severely compromised intestinal function, those undergoing total parenteral nutrition, and also on advanced aged people (over 90). Alternatively, people dependent on food grown from selenium-deficient soil are also at risk. | |
