Objectives:

• Describe the current evidence linking vitamin D with cognitive decline and neuropathology.
• Describe the strengths and limitations of various study designs examining vitamin D and cognition in community-based cohorts.

Requirements for successful completion: Participants will be awarded contact hours commensurate with participation after completion of the post-test with a score of 70% or higher.
