Serum retinol levels are associated with cognitive function among community-dwelling older Mexican adults.

Frequency of LSR in older Mexican adults was low, but strongly associated with MCI. This result suggests that VA plays a role in maintaining CF in the elderly population. Since VAD is a reversible condition, further studies are needed in order to identify the main causes of LSR and prevent MCI in populations which are at higher risk for malnutrition.Trial registration: ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT04820465.
