The results of the study could suggest ‘the earlier you start [taking vitamin D], the more you can prevent progression,’ Dr. Zahinoor Ismail says

Researchers at the University of Calgary are starting a national project to try to get more insight into the brain as people age.

The 12,000 participants in the study, published in the journal Alzheimer’s & Dementia, were part of the National Alzheimer’s co-ordinating Center in the United States. They had an average age of 71 and didn’t have dementia when they signed up for it. About 37 per cent of those involved took vitamin D supplements.

The Canadian project, he said, will build on the results of the vitamin D study with U.S. participants. The study will be conducted online and researchers hope to recruit about 10,000 participants from across Canada.
