This essential vitamin can reduce dementia and diabetes risk

The article from the Times of India discusses a study published in the Annals of Internal Medicine which highlights the benefits of vitamin D supplementation in reducing the risk of dementia and diabetes. The research, involving over 2,600 participants aged 60 to 84, found that those who took vitamin D supplements had a 40% lower risk of developing dementia and a 15% lower risk of diabetes compared to those who did not. The study suggests that vitamin D, known for its role in bone health, also has significant implications for cognitive and metabolic health. Experts recommend ensuring adequate vitamin D levels through diet, sunlight exposure, or supplements, especially for older adults, to potentially mitigate these health risks. However, they also caution that while vitamin D shows promise, it should be part of a broader approach to health management including diet, exercise, and regular medical check-ups.
