Nonalcoholic fatty liver refers to the deposition of more than 5 percent fat in the liver, and 40.4 percent of Koreans 65 and older suffer from nonalcoholic fatty liver. The development of fatty liver can lead to liver fibrosis, cirrhosis, and liver cancer, as well as chronic diseases, suc...
A more reasonable strategy for older adults is to get vitamin A from a higher intake of carotenoid-containing foods. An increased intake of carotenoids from fruits and vegetables was found to be associated with a decreased cardiovascular mortality in elderly patients. High vitamin A supplement use ...
The evidence for vitamin K supplementation in older adults is mixed. Although the observational studies have shown linkages between vitamin K intake and lower risk of fractures in this population, the current evidence from randomized controlled trials is not strongly supportive of vitamin K ...
Vitamin D deficiency is a common health concern worldwide. We aim to compare the prevalence of vitamin D deficiency among older adults (65+) in China and the United States (US). We used data from the 2011 wave of Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Su
New research published in theJournal of the Endocrine Societysuggests that vitamin D supplements may help lower blood pressure in older adults with obesity. However, taking doses higher than the Institute of Medicine’s (IOM) recommended 600 International Units (IU) per day does not appear t...
Aging experts at Trinity College Dublin and the University of Limerick have shown associations of vitamin D status with C-reactive protein (CRP, a measure of inflammation) in older adults. The study has recently been published in the journal PLOS ONE.

adults. This is particularly important in older adults and other vulnerable population groups in order to address the winter nadir in vitamin D status [78]. These doses are a quarter or less of the 100 μg/day (4000 IU/day) tolerable upper limit for daily intake cited by the Institute ...
Vitamin D intake from supplements was the major factor determining 25(OH)D concentrations (p < 0.001). Conclusions Mean concentration of 25(OH)D in a sample of older adults of diverse ancestry living in the GTA exceeded 80 nmol/L, and there were no significant differences in 25(OH)D...
