New research has linked levels of vitamin D in midlife with toxic tangles of tau protein that accumulate in the brains of those with Alzheimer's disease.

Yeah, & I discovered that some people have a gene for .. conserving vitamin-D, or something like that, so that dosages insufficient for normal people are entirely sufficient for them.

damn biochemistry gets complicated, when you try understanding all the different things properly..

To add more context that (if i'm understanding
the study correctly), higher levels of vitamin D in midlife lowers dementia risks.

"In a group of dementia-free individuals, higher serum 25(OH)D at early midlife was associated with lower tau deposition on brain-PET a mean of 16 years later. Low vitamin D in midlife may represent a potentially modifiable target to mitigate the risk of neuroimaging signs of preclinical dementia."
