0:00:01she michael hallway and i'm professor madison physiology and biases except boston university medical centre
0:00:06am also director for the phone healthcare but i
0:00:09and my colleague but i shall or and i wrote a recent review on
0:00:15the role of vitamin d for were cognitive function
0:00:20we're now recognizing that vitamin d which of course is critically important for phone function
0:00:25also has many other biological activities in the body and we believe that by the
0:00:31d deficiency markedly increases risk of many chronic illness
0:00:36and as a result
0:00:37we now realise that vitamin deficiency has been associated with many nor cognitive dysfunction disorders
0:00:45including depression and alzheimer's disease
0:00:50we realise now that the brain has a fight in the d receptor
0:00:54and that
0:00:56deep brain can activate vitamin d and so we would be that by improving vitamin
0:01:01b status can improve over all mental health and mental status
0:01:06we review both the issues recording mild cognitive dysfunction and how by timothy plays a
0:01:14role in helping patients with this problem improve their all
0:01:21we also discuss how of identity plays an important role in muscle function which of
0:01:26course is critically important for activity and reducing risk falling and reducing risk of fracture
0:01:34so i don't want to the review is it gives the clinician information about how
0:01:40to determine the patient's by timothy status right tree fundamentally deficiency especially in the elderly
0:01:46and that the improvement of identity status could re well improve the overall more work
0:01:53on a function for education and i thank you for your attention
