Cognitive Impairment & Mortality in a Cohort of Elderly People
BMJ 312:608-611, Gale,C.R.,et al, 1996

Article Abstract
The relation between cognitive function and risk of death from stroke suggests that cerebrovascular disease is an important cause of declining cognitive function.Vitamin C status may be a determinant of cognitive function in elderly people through its effect on atherogenesis.A high vitamin C intake may protect against both cognitive impairment and cerebrovascular disease.
