A new study, which researchers call a “world-first,” describes a direct link between the risk of dementia and a lack of vitamin D. In the study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, researchers looked at data and brain scans from more than 300,000 participants from the U.K. to assess the connection.
Vitamin D is a crucial part of our health, helping the body to adsorb and retain calcium and phosphorus, critical for building bone. It has also been linked to numerous other benefits, such as reducing cancer cell growth and helping to control infections.
