Vitamin D Deficiency Linked to Risk of Dementia

A study recently published in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition investigated the effect of vitamin D concentrations on brain volume, and how this impacted the risk of dementia or stroke. The study found that “Vitamin D deficiency was associated with an increased risk of dementia and stroke, with the strongest associations for those with 25(OH)D <25 nmol/L.” The study also found that the risk of dementia was 54% higher for participants with vitamin D levels of 25 nmol/L compared with 50 nmol/L and 17% of dementia could be prevented by increasing 25(OH)D to 50 nmol/L. In conclusion, this study supports a causal effect of vitamin D deficiency on dementia.
