ABSTRACT

Conclusion:

We found no evidence of associations between lower 25(OH)D levels and cognitive functions in younger women.

Results:

There was no statistically significant relationship between SMMSE scores and serum 25(OH)D levels.

Materials and Methods:

One hundred four women aged 18 to 65 years were recruited in the study. The demographic data were recorded and the Standardized Mini Mental State Examination (SMMSE) was administered. Patients were divided into three groups; 25(OH)D level <20 ng/mL regarded as vitamin D deficiency, 20-29 ng/mL as vitamin D insufficiency, ≥30 ng/mL as normal.

Objective:

The objective of this study was to examine the association between 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] and cognitive function in younger women.
