A team of researchers from Tufts University, United States, found that older people

with the highest concentration of vitamin D in blood

had

On previous evidence, the authors already knew that vitamin D metabolism

passes through the hippocampus and cerebellum

, two brain regions associated with

planning, processing and memory

. Hence, it would suggest that vitamin D was potentially related to brain function.

This latest U.S. was led by Katherine Tucker

, who discussed with his team of researchers to

group of 1000 adults over 65

-and up to 99 years, who have been taking the concentration vitamin D in blood and holding a series of neuropsychological tests to examine cognitive functions.

Thus, the researchers found that individuals who had

an amount "sufficient" for vitamin
had to turn better cognitive function compared to those with a level of "poor" or directly "poor."

Among the areas where these older had better results highlighted the mental flexibility, the complex perceptual and reasoning. Recall that

vitamin D is obtained, further, through moderate exposure to sun

and through fortified foods such as certain dairy products, fish and margarine .

Finally, Tucker said that in his work also concluded that only 35 percent volunteers had reached a sufficient level of this macronutrient, which is likely

be because older adults spend long hours in their homes and do not receive adequate amounts of sun, said the expert. Via
