Brain function, dementia and vitamin DA recent study of 858 adults over the age of 65 showed vitamin D deficiency to be related to a decline in brain function. The Italian adults were given regular cognitive function tests over 8 years alongside blood tests to assess their vitamin D status, and the most severely deficient showed the most substantial decline. A similar study of 752 women over the age of 75 showed comparable results. Some studies have gone further to link vitamin D deficiency with dementia and Alzheimer’s. One such study tested 231 women and 109 men aged 65 to 99, and demonstrated that those with vitamin D deficiency were 2.3 times more likely to have dementia and 2.5 times more likely to have Alzheimer’s.
