TL;DR: It is confirmed that vitamin D deficiency is associated with a substantially increased risk of all-cause dementia and Alzheimer disease, and adds to the ongoing debate about the role of vitamin D in nonskeletal conditions.

TL;DR: Despite conflicting early reports, changes in performance whilst dual tasking were significantly associated with an increased risk for falling amongst older adults and frail older adults in particular.

TL;DR: Although retrospective studies found that the TUG time performance is associated with a past history of falls, its predictive ability for future falls remains limited and standardization of testing conditions combined with a control of the significant potential confounders (age, female gender and comorbidities) would provide better information about the Tug predictive value for future fall in older adults.

TL;DR: MCR is common in older adults, and is a strong and early risk factor for cognitive decline, and can be easily applied to identify high-risk seniors in a wide variety of settings.

TL;DR: AD cases had lower serum vitamin D concentrations than matched controls, which reinforces the conceptualization of vitamin D as a 'neurosteroid hormone' and as a potential biomarker of AD.
