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