Evaluation the relationship between serum level of vitamin D and cognitive impairment in elderly patients
Background: Vitamin D deficiency is a common disorder in elderly, previously suggested to be associated with cognitive impairment. This study was aimed to determine the association between 25(OH) vitamin D and cognitive impairment in the elderly. Methods: In this case-control study, 35 individuals who met criteria of cognitive impairment were examined against 35 individuals who did not have co...
متن کاملDoes routine blood bone biochemistry predict vitamin D insufficiency in elderly patients with low-velocity fractures?
PURPOSE Vitamin D deficiency impairs bone mineralisation and can predispose individuals to fractures. This study aimed at testing whether measurement of plasma calcium, alkaline phosphatase, and phosphate levels could detect vitamin D insufficiency. METHODS During a 10-week winter period from December 2000 to February 2001, all elderly patients presenting to a general hospital in Brighton--Br...
متن کاملRelationship between Bone Mineral Density and Serum Vitamin D with Low Energy Hip and Distal Radius Fractures: A Case-Control Study
Background: The main purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between serum vitamin D and the status of bone mineral density in patients with low-energy hip and distal radius fracture. Methods: This retrospective case-control study was performed between January 2013 and January 2014. Participants aged 55 years or older were divided to case group including 85 patients with lo...
متن کاملVitamin D supplementation and the prevention of fractures and falls.
Vitamin B12 deficiency is common in older people and is associated with cognitive impairment in the absence of anaemia or macrocytosis [1–3]. The prevalence of vitamin B12 deficiency increases in the elderly, mainly due to malabsorption of food-bound vitamin B12 due to atrophic gastritis that limits the ability of older people to release vitamin B12 from dietary sources in meat, fish and dairy ...
متن کاملVitamin D deficiency, muscle function, and falls in elderly people.
An inadequate serum vitamin D status is commonly seen in elderly people as the result of various risk factors interacting in this population. Apart from the well-known effects on bone metabolism, this condition is also associated with muscle weakness, predominantly of the proximal muscle groups. Muscle weakness below a certain threshold affects functional ability and mobility, which puts an eld...
