Decreased renal function associated with age compromises the ability to perform activities for independent life in the community, but we did not observe influence in specific domains of cognition and physical performance. Low serum level of 25(OH)D appears to be a marker of greater risk of functional decline than eGFR measurement in independent oldest old dwelling in the community.
