Researchers at the University of Texas Health Science Center, San Antonio used a Multiple Indicators Multiple Causes (MIMIC) approach to evaluate the correlation between serum Vitamin D binding protein (VDBP) levels and cognitive performance in Alzheimer’s patients. While further studies are needed, this research suggests that increased levels of serum VDBP may be helpful in identifying future dementia and dementia conversion. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25079796
