D the cure for Dementia

A Germany-based study of 1,334 elderly people has indicated how Vitamin D deficiency increased their risk of disease progression and validates earlier population-based longitudinal studies. 250 participantsu2014with a mean age of 84 yearsu2014who were followed up on for roughly seven years experienced dementia from all causes. Of these people, about 209 experienced AD, and 41 experienced vascular dementia. The study found that higher vitamin D concentrations were significantly associated with a lower incidence of all-cause dementia and when modelled with confounding factors, such as lifestyle and cardiometabolic health risk factors, the correlation held up.

Vitamin D levels were shown to be related with a higher incidence of AD in samples with concentrations less than 25 nmol/L and greater than 25 nmol/L but less than 50 nmol/L, compared to those with values greater than 50 nmol/L. Therefore, vitamin D concentrations higher than 50 nmol/L can be advantageous. Additionally, vitamin D concentrations greater than 25 nmol/L but less than 50 nmol/L were linked to a lower risk of incidence of vascular dementia when compared to samples with vitamin D concentrations greater than 50 nmol/L. Vascular dementia affects memory, thinking, and behaviour. Despite receiving enough of sunlight throughout the year, even in the winter, 76% of Indians are vitamin D deficient, according to DR. Sucheta Mudgerikar, senior consultant neurology at Apollo Hospitals in Gandhinagar. Lack of nutrition, remaining indoors, covering the arms and face to prevent skin tanner, pollution, darker skin with more melanin, and other factors could be to blame. Neuroplasticity, neural growth, and brain function are all significantly influenced by vitamin D. A lack of it can lead to sadness, anxiety, and sleep problems, all of which can affect one’s ability to think clearly. A severe vitamin D deficit has been linked to AD, according to recent studies. It’s intriguing that treatment of a mild deficiency was associated with an improvement in cognition. Warning: Do not take vitamin D without consulting a doctor. Hypervitaminosis can also be problematic. In a typical situation, 30 minutes a day of sun exposure with your arms and face exposed can provide you with enough vitamin D for the day.Let us know some more ways to gain Vitamin D in the comment section.
