Vitamin B12 and Age-Related Cognitive Decline-Dementia and "Alzheimer's Disease".
Food Nutr Bull
June 2024
This article is a commentary on the role of vitamin B in age-related cognitive decline, with a meta-commentary on the misuse of the term "Alzheimer's Disease." The article describes the historical origins of the term "Alzheimer's Disease" and argues that the term should be restricted to a narrower segment of the age-related dementia spectrum. The article also outlines the role of vitamin B in age-related cognitive decline and outlines the rationale for the treatment of B deficiency to address a potentially reversible factor in cognitive decline.

- Thromboembolic events are more common in patients with severe hyperhomocysteinemia (>30 µmol/L) linked to genetic issues and vitamin B deficiencies, while moderate levels (15-30 µmol/L) show a slight increase in cardiovascular risk.
- The debate over homocysteine's role as a cardiovascular risk factor continues, with earlier trials showing no benefits from lowering homocysteine levels, leading experts to reconsider its importance in cardiovascular assessments.
- Most cardiovascular patients have moderate to severe hyperhomocysteinemia, often due to vitamin B12 or folate deficiency, suggesting a need for routine screening and treatment of these deficiencies in affected individuals.
Background: The ability to learn collaboratively and work in teams is an essential competency in both educational and healthcare settings, and collaborative student activities are acknowledged as being an important part of the pedagogical approach in higher education and teaching. The course that was the focus of this research, a 15-ECTS-credit online course in philosophy of science, ethics, and research methods, was offered online as part of 11 master's-level health programmes at a university in Norway. Collaborative learning in combination with digital teaching tools was the preferred pedagogical approach in the online course.
