Published Date: Jan 1, 2020

Abstract

BACKGROUND: In recent years, accumulating evidence has linked vitamin D deficiency to cognitive dysfunction and dementia. This study aimed at determining the relevance of serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D concentrations in mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and Alzheimer's disease (AD) in older Greek adults. It also examined whether the vitamin D level could be considered a predisposing factor for conversion from MCI to AD.
