Low Vitamin D levels related to Dementia


A study analyzed more than 294,000 people (most of them women over 60) living in the United Kingdom. Using blood tests on all participants and neuroimaging tools on about 34,000, researchers looked for associations between vitamin D levels and risks of dementia and stroke. A normal blood vitamin D level was defined as at least 50 nanomoles per liter (nmol/L); a deficiency was defined as less than 25 nmol/L.

According to a recent study published in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, low vitamin D levels were associated with an increased risk of dementia and stroke over an 11-year period. Individuals with low vitamin D levels had a 54% higher risk of developing dementia compared to those with normal levels ¹.
In addition, the prevalence of dementia is increasing; according to Ferri et al, 4.6 million new cases arise every year, and if new prevention strategies are not implemented, the number of affected people will exceed 81 million by the year 2040. Read More
