Background: Nutrients such as vitamin D play an important role in aging and dementia and evidence on the effect of vitamin D on cognition among healthy aging adults especially in rural India is sparse. Our aim was to observe the effect of vitamin D on cognition. Method: Using a cross‐sectional study design we examined cognitive performance between vitamin D sufficient, vitamin D insufficient and vitamin D deficient groups among the cognitively healthy volunteers of SANSCOG cohort. Result: Our analysis revealed that two thirds (74.5%) had suboptimal vitamin D levels (Insufficiency: 38.3% and Deficiency: 36.2%) and women were more affected than men. Vitamin D levels affected subject's depression scores and diabetes status negatively, however no effect was found on cognitive performance. Conclusion: It may be postulated that vitamin D plays an indirect role on cognitive performance. Large proportion of suboptimal vitamin D levels in the rural population warrants proactive public health measures. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
