J Neurol Neurosurg Psychiatry. 2009 Jul;80(7):722-9. Epub 2009 May 21. PMID: 19460797 doi:10.1136/jnnp.2008.165720 Conclusion: In this study, lower 25(OH)D levels were associated with poorer performance on the DSST. Further research is warranted to determine whether vitamin D sufficiency might have a role in preserving cognitive function in older adults.
