Abstract in brief

  • This study reviews and analyzes multiple clinical trials to see if taking vitamin B or folic acid helps slow down cognitive decline in older adults, including those with and without existing cognitive problems.
  • The overall finding is that vitamin B supplements successfully lower homocysteine levels, which are linked to higher risk of dementia, but they do not significantly improve cognitive test scores or brain function in these people.
  • Despite the association between high homocysteine and cognitive issues, current evidence suggests that taking vitamin B does not provide clear cognitive benefits for the elderly, based on multiple large-scale trials.
