Abstract

Vitamin D deficiency is common in many Western countries and also in Saudi Arabia. The cognitive effect of Vitamin D has been a subject of debate over the years. Studies in elderly people who had low levels of Vitamin D showed a cognitive decline over 6 years. Even though there is awareness about Vitamin D deficiency among medical students, only few of them are serious about taking care of it. Medical students are known to have excessive stress, which can affect their cognitive function. Researchers have reported that Vitamin D administration has improved cognitive function in the elderly. Sixty articles were collected from PubMed, Google Scholar, Directory of Open Access, and Research Gate relating to Vitamin D, of which 30 relevant articles were chosen to study the possible role of Vitamin D in neuroprotection and cognitive function.

维生素D水平会影响医学生的学习成绩吗?
维生素D缺乏症在许多西方国家和沙特阿拉伯都很常见。维生素D的认知作用多年来一直是一个争论的话题。对维生素D含量低的老年人的研究表明,他们的认知能力在6年内有所下降。尽管医学生对维生素D缺乏症有一定的认识,但很少有人认真对待。众所周知,医学生压力过大,会影响他们的认知功能。研究人员报告说,服用维生素D可以改善老年人的认知功能。从PubMed、Google Scholar、开放获取目录和与维生素D相关的研究门收集了60篇文章,其中选择了30篇相关文章来研究维生素D在神经保护和认知功能中的可能作用。
