Vitamin deficiencies may raise dementia risk, finds ICMR-NIN study
A study by the ICMR-National Institute of Nutrition suggests that vitamin deficiencies, particularly in D and B-complex, are linked to a higher risk of dementia among Indian adults. The findings emphasize the role of diet and nutrition as modifiable factors in cognitive health.
Why it matters
With an aging population, identifying preventable risk factors for dementia is critical for public health policy and individual wellness.
As India’s population lives longer, it is also ageing faster — a demographic shift that is driving a rise in age-related non-communicable diseases, including dementia. Emerging evidence now suggests that diet may play a crucial role in how well the brain ages.
