The scientists behind this study analyzed the relationship between vitamin D supplementation and the onset of dementia in more than 12,388 people in the US.

The average age of the respondents was 71 years. In general, those who participated in the study did not have symptoms of dementia at the time of the start of the relevant studies.

Of the study participants, 37% or 4,637 people took vitamin D supplements daily. This vitamin D group had 40% fewer cases of dementia than the other group that did not take vitamin D supplements.

Of the 12,388 people who took part in the study, 2,696 developed dementia within ten years. Of those who developed dementia, 75% did not receive vitamin D.
