• Background: In recent years, the associations between vitamin D status and Alzheimer’s
disease (AD) and dementia have gained increasing interests. The present meta-analysis was
designed to estimate the association between vitamin D deficiency and risk of developing AD and
dementia.
• Methods: A literature search conducted until February 2015 identified 10 study populations,
which were included in the meta-analysis. Pooled risk ratios (RRs) and 95 % confidence interval
(CI) were calculated with a random-effect model using Stata software package.
• Results: Results of our meta-analysis showed that subjects with deficient vitamin D status
(25(OH)D level < 50 nmol/L) were at increased risk of developing AD by 21 % compared with
those possessing 25(OH)D level > 50 nmol/L. Similar analysis also found a significantly
increased dementia risk in vitamin D deficient subjects. There is no evidence for significant
heterogeneity among the included studies.
• Conclusion: Available data indicates that lower vitamin D status may be associated with
increased risk of developing AD and dementia. More studies are needed to further confirm the
associations and to evaluate the beneficial effects of vitamin D supplementation in preventing AD
and dementia.
