Researchers discovered a connection between poor vitamin D status and the risk of developing Alzheimer's disease.
New Research Shows A Connection Between Low Vitamin D & Alzheimer's Disease Risk Alzheimer's disease is the leading cause of dementia, accounting for 60 to 80% of all dementia cases. And the number of people living with Alzheimer's disease is expected to triple in less than 30 years. So there's an increasing interest and urgency to better understand the risk factors of the disease so that we can take a proactive approach to reduce our risk.
While researchers did clearly define what low vitamin D means in the context of this study, the cutoff used doesn't necessarily align with what's generally considered deficient or sufficient. But sufficiency isn't necessarily good enough. You should really be aiming for serum 25D levels of 50 ng/mL or higher for optimal whole-body health.
