Latest Research Links Dementia With Vitamin Deficiency...
Dear Reader,
A pair of new studies help to explain the role that vitamins D and E play in the onset of cognitive decline... even Alzheimer's disease. And while experts caution that it's too early to make any recommendations for what to eat or what supplement to take to cut the risks of age related cognitive decline, the research suggests this isn't far off.
One work, appearing in the July 12, 2010 issue of the Archives of Internal Medicine suggests that low levels of vitamin D in the blood could increase the risk of cognitive decline.
The work included 858 adults over 65, and those who had the lowest blood levels of the vitamin, under 25 nanomoles per liter, were 60% more likely to have signs of general cognitive decline over the course of the 6 year study. They were also 31% more likely to demonstrate declines in their ability to plan, organize and prioritize than those in the study who had sufficient levels of vitamin D in the blood.
You've heard vitamin D called the "sunshine vitamin" because we produce it when we're out in the sun without sunscreen. It's naturally a part of very few foods (salmon, tuna, mackerel, fish liver oils, beef liver, cheese, egg yolks, mushrooms), and is added to many others like milk, cereals, orange juice, yogurt and margarine.
There's been plenty of research in recent years to link vitamin D deficiency to problems like heart disease, osteoporosis, diabetes, schizophrenia, some autoimmune disorders and even certain cancers.
Today from 40-100% of older adults in both the U.S. and Europe could be deficient in vitamin D according to information cited by the researchers. The study has raised the idea that vitamin D supplements might have some potential for the prevention of dementia, though clinical trails are needed to define the optimal intake.
Experts worry about low levels of vitamin D in the frail or elderly, in those with dark skin or anyone who totally avoids the sun. All adults, according to Michael Holick, MD, PhD, a professor at the Boston University School of Medicine and director of the school's Vitamin D, Skin, and Bone Research Lab, should be taking in 2,000 international units (IUs) of vitamin D a day, significantly higher than the current dietary recommendations. The Institute of Medicine is considering new recommendations for intake as you read this.
Holick suggests that the time to start supplementing is before you see signs of dementia or another condition. Vitamin D is better at preventing that treating disease.
The other work, appearing in the July 12, 2010 issue of the Archives of Neurology, finds that eating foods rich in vitamin E could help bring lower risk for dementia and Alzheimer's disease. This study included 5,395 dementia free subjects over 55, finding that those who got the highest amounts of vitamin E (18.5 milligrams/day) were 25% less likely to develop dementia than those who got the least vitamin E in their diet (about 9 milligrams/day).
Study leader Elizabeth R. Devore ScD of Erasmus Medical Center in the Netherlands and her colleagues followed the participants for 9.6 years. During that time there were 465 cases of dementia; 365 of those were considered Alzheimer's disease.
The large, observational study was intended to evaluate more than vitamin E; vitamin C, beta-carotene and flavonoids consumed were also investigated, though only the vitamin E was related to dementia risk. The participants in this study reported that they got their vitamin E from sources like margarine, sunflower oil, butter, cooking fat, soybean oil and mayo.

Vitamin E is a natural part of whole grains, wheat germ, leafy green veggies,
sardines, egg yolks, nuts and seeds, and a source of antioxidants known to protect
the body from the damage caused by free radicals. The brain, being a site of
high metabolic activity is especially vulnerable to oxidative damage, and in
need of the protection that can come from this nutrient.
As encouraging as these results appear, experts caution that more work is needed
before any recommendations can be made in terms of vitamin intake and dementia
risk. If your levels of either nutrient are particularly low, you may need to
supplement, but otherwise it's too early to suggest that this will do you good.
Whole foods sources of nutrients are, after all, always preferable to supplements.
To your good health,
