This vitamin can reduce your risk of dementia
Scientists from Rush University, Tufts University, and the University of Massachusetts were the first researchers to examine the relationship between cognitive decline factors and vitamin D levels in both the bloodstream and the brain.
Researchers analyzed the vitamin D levels of participants in the Rush Memory and Aging Project, a longitudinal study which aims to identify factors that increase risk for Alzheimer’s and other cognitive decline disorders. They compared their vitamin D levels before and after their death to determine how they affected cognitive function.
All MAP participants, who did not have dementia at the time they enrolled in MAP, agreed to take part in annual evaluations as well as organ donation upon their death. The average age at death of the participants in this study was 92 years old.
