ICMR-NIN Study Links Vitamin Deficiencies to Cognitive Decline

A study by the ICMR-National Institute of Nutrition involving 184 adults aged 55 to 85 found that 36.4% of participants exhibited signs of mild cognitive impairment.

Researchers identified a strong association between cognitive decline and deficiencies in essential micronutrients, specifically vitamins D, B2, and B9, alongside higher blood glucose and systolic blood pressure.

The findings, published in the journal 'Nutrients', suggest that early nutritional assessment and maintaining adequate vitamin levels are critical strategies for preserving brain health during the ageing process.
