Vitamin D and Cognitive Impairment
Our study emphasized the high prevalence of vitamin D inadequacy among elderly individuals and an inverse association of vitamin D status and adiposity and insulin resistance. These findings emphasize the importance of addressing vitamin D deficiency in the elderly population to improve overall health outcomes. Nevertheless, our results do not support a direct role of vitamin D status in cognitive decline in this population. Further research, particularly studies with longer follow-up periods and the inclusion of patients with dementia with details of vitamin D supplementation, is needed to clarify the potential role of vitamin D in cognitive decline and neurodegenerative diseases.
