Vitamin D concentration and focal brain atrophy in older adults: a voxel‐based morphometric study
Vitamin D is involved in brain health and function. Our objective was to determine whether lower 25‐hydroxyvitamin D (25OHD) concentration was associated with focal brain volume reduction in older adults.

Vaccination rates modulate the correlation between country latitude and covid-19 surge date arising this autumn 2021 [PDF]
A clear linear correlation of covid-19 surge date with country latitude was observed last autumn 2020, but not with temperature, nor with humidity, pointing the seasonal vitamin D status decline as a contributor factor. Well vaccinated European countries are this autumn 2021 repeating explosive surges.
