Dementia, also known as senility, is a broad category of brain diseases that cause a long term, usually gradual decrease in the ability to think and remember, affecting a person’s daily functioning. Other common symptoms include emotional problems, difficulties with language and a decrease in motivation. A person’s consciousness is not believed to be affected. For the diagnosis to be present there must be a change from a person’s usual mental functioning and a greater decline than one would expect due to aging.
About 10% of people develop the disease at some point in their lives, with an increased incidence as an individual ages. As far as prevalence, about 3% of all people between the ages of 65–74 have dementia, 19% between ages 75 and 84 and nearly half of those over 85 years of age.
Studies examining the effect of low vitamin D levels on the onset of dementia are important, because 50% of the elderly have 25(OH)D levels less than 20 ng/ml and that increases to 70% – 90% among those with dementia.
