ABSTRACT
Vitamin D deficiency is common among the elderly,which may be an important pathogenic factor in Alzheimer's disease(AD).Vitamin D has multiple functions including immune regulation,anti-oxidation,regulation of neurotrophic factors/acetylcholine neurotransmitters,and clearance of amyloid beta peptide; meanwhile,it may be helpful to avoid hyperparathyroidism.Vitamin D supplementation among the elderly may prevent the loss of neurons and slow down the AD-related cognitive decline,and therefore may play a role in the multi-targeted therapies for AD.
