Older people who took the supplement were 40% less likely to develop the disease over a 10-year period, compared to people who didn’t take any extra vitamin D.
. “However so far, research has yielded conflicting results. … Overall, we found evidence to suggest that earlier supplementation might be particularly beneficial, before the onset of cognitive decline.”, compared the onset of dementia symptoms based on whether people took vitamin D supplements or not. The study enrolled a total of 12,388 people in the U.S. who did not have dementia when they signed up for the study. The average age of participants was 71.
The researchers found that vitamin D gave greater protective benefits among women than men, although protection among both sexes was significant compared to not taking any vitamin D. Also, protection appeared to be better if people started taking the supplement before any signs of cognitive issues.
