None, if he eats a varied veggie diet. Vegetarian diets are usually less junk food or commercially devitalised than most, more often homemade, and usually a lot more varied. If by 'pure vegetarian' you mean vegan, then B12 certainly has to be watched.Even if grown on poor soils, vegetables will contain all the vitamins they should; it is minerals they may be deficient in, and minerals that people should be concerned about rather than vitamins. The average vegetarian is not a hypochondriac and needs never take any food supplement or tablet unless ill. A lot of industries sponsor pamphlets given out in hospital and health waiting rooms, and fill them with Propaganda to sell meat, eggs, dairy products etc, using bogus doctors and scare tactics. The public, and even professionals, gradually come to believe these. An example is iron. Lack of iron (hypoferremia) is rare. It has nothing to do with anaemia (lack of blood), and doctors agree that iron, apart from natural foods rich in it, should never be taken unless a blood serum test shows a deficiency. Overload (most men over 40 have too much) is dangerous. Men's health tablets (no iron) are now available, but personally I look at all food labels (breads, marmites, beveridges, etc) and shum those with added iron. We should all be eating FOODS, not medicines.

Why do adolescent girls are more likely to suffer from iro deficiency than boys?

Adolescent girls are more likely to suffer from iron deficiency than boys primarily due to menstruation, which results in regular blood loss and increased iron requirements. Additionally, girls may have lower dietary iron intake compared to boys, compounded by societal factors such as dietary restrictions or preferences. The increased demand for iron during periods of growth and development, combined with these factors, makes them more vulnerable to iron deficiency.
