Berlin/Washington .. New studies show how important certain vitamins are in dementia prevention.Researchers criticize "enormous educational needs". A new study shows the disturbing connection between vitamin deficiency and dementia Cardiovascular diseases and chronic inflammation in the body are also favored in this way Researchers are calling for more information A lack of certain B vitamins can increase the risk of cardiovascular diseases and dementia.This is the conclusion of new research from Tufts University from Massachusetts.In old age, the inclusion of vitamin B12 becomes a problem, the study says.

According to the researchers, every second and every second 75-year-olds can only take vitamin B12 from food to a limited extent.The reason is, among other things, in a changed gastric mucosa that produces less stomach acid and an important transportation. Increased risk: leads vitamin B12 deficiency to dementia? The result: part of the vitamin remains unused - and this can have serious effects."The contribution of a B12 deficiency to mental degradation and vascular dementia is sub-diagnosed and underestimated," quotes the Irwin Rosenberg, professor of nutrition and medicine at the university. It is particularly problematic that standard blood tests usually only record the total value of vitamin B12, but not its actual availability for the body.According to the research results, complementary values such as homocysteine or methylmalonic acid are more meaningful. Another result of the study: Even for chronic inflammation that promotes many common diseases, the researchers see potential- vitamin B6 could be dampening here, as the first animal and first human studies show.However, the following applies: The use of high -dose preparations should only be carried out under medical control. Dementia research: There is "there is enormous educational needs" In the past, research on dementia has focused primarily on protein deposits in the brain.However, according to the researchers, new data show that small vascular changes in the brain could play a much larger role.They would often be triggered by a vitamin deficiency "There is a tremendous need for information on this topic," says Rosenberg."We hope to convince cardiologists, neurologists and internists to measure vitamin B-12 and homocysteine levels as part of the assessment of cognitive impairments." les
