Study Finds Low Vitamin D Might Raise Death Risk In Older People
Dear Reader,
Older adults who have low vitamin D levels have a higher risk of death, especially so if they are frail according to the findings of an Oregon State University study that examined data from a survey of over 4,300 U.S. adults aged 60. Those who had low vitamin D had a 30% greater risk of dying during the study period than those of the same age who had higher levels of the nutrient.
Also of note, frail people had more than double the death risk compared to those who were not considered frail. Frailty is defined by medicine as a state of vulnerability that has symptoms like fatigue, weight loss, muscle weakness and a decline in function that gets worse over time. Outcomes for these patients are known to be poorer. Taking things one step further, those classified as frail and with low levels of vitamin D were 3 times more likely to die than subjects who were stronger and had higher levels of vitamin D.
Not having enough vitamin D in the body is a common problem, with estimates suggesting nearly 70% of Americans and perhaps a total of 1 billion people worldwide don't have enough vitamin D. The thing is, this nutrient may play a much broader role in fighting disease than anyone ever thought, and not having enough might just up the risk of chronic diseases like osteoporosis, heart disease, multiple sclerosis, infectious diseases - maybe even the seasonal flu - and some cancers.
The body produces this nutrient in response to exposure to natural sunlight, about 20 minutes a day is usually enough. Most of us get at least some of our vitamin D using this method, but many things can impact the efficiency of this natural process so we're fortunate to have food sources of this nutrient as well. These include the flesh of fatty fish (salmon, tuna, mackerel), fish liver oils, beef liver, cheese and egg yolks. No surprise that most of the vitamin D in the American diet comes from fortified foods, products like milk, breakfast cereals, orange juice, yogurt, margarine and other foods. Supplements are a popular choice.
There's a lot of debate in the scientific community about just how much vitamin D you need to be getting. In 2010 the Institute of Medicine suggested increasing the daily intake for children and adults in both the U.S. and Canada to 600 IU a day for those aged 1 to 70; 800 IUs a day for those over 70 years. The safe upper limit of intake of this nutrient was also raised to 4,000 IUs a day, and even at this level there was no reliable evidence of harm.

Study Finds Low Vitamin D Might Raise Death Risk In Older People Continued...
Many consider these levels to be too low.
As far as the current research on vitamin D and risk of death, no one knows if the low levels of vitamin D were a contributor to frailty or if frail subjects had low levels due to problems with their overall health. This may not matter. We do know that vitamin D has an impact on muscle function and of course our bones, so it could indeed play a part in being considered frail.
The study appears online in the European Journal of Clinical Nutrition.
The take home - physicians need to look at the vitamin D levels, especially in older adults and those who are frail. Keep in mind that while this study saw an association between vitamin D and death risk, it does not suggest a cause and effect relationship. Still if you're older, you should do all you can to get a healthy intake of all nutrients, including vitamin D, into your diet.
To your good health,
