Background and objectives: Lower vitamin status has been linked to cognitive deficits, pending mechanistic elucidation. Serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D], folate and cobalamin were explored against brain volumes and white matter integrity (WMI).Methods: Three prospective waves from Healthy Aging in Neighborhoods of Diversity Across the Life Span (HANDLS) study were used [Baltimore, City, MD, 2004-2015, N = 183-240 urban adults (Age(v1): 30-64 years)]. Serum vitamin 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D], folate and cobalamin concentrations were measured at visits 1 (v(1): 2004-2009) and 2 (v(2): 2009-2013), while structural and diffusion Magnetic Resonance Imaging (sMRI/dMRI) outcomes were measured at v(scan): 2011-2015. Top 10 ranked adjusted associations were corrected for multiple testing using familywise Bonferroni (FWER 50 years: +205 +/- 54]; parietal WM; [overall: +251 +/- 77, males: +486 +/- 129 and Age(v1) > 50 years: +393 +/- 108] and left occipital pole volume [overall: +15.70 +/- 3.83 and above poverty: 19.0 +/- 4.3], findings replicated for 25(OH)D (v(2)-v(1)) annualized exposure, which was also linked with greater WMI (fractional anisotropy, FA) in the anterior limb of the internal capsule (ALIC); FWER < 0.05 [Overall: +0.0020 +/- 0.0004; Whites: +0.0024 +/- 0.0004] and in the cingulum (hippocampus) [Overall: +0.0016 +/- 0.0004]. Only trends were detected for cobalamin exposures (q < 0.10), while serum folate (v(1)) was associated with lower mean diffusivity (MD) in ALIC, reflecting greater WMI, overall.Conclusions: Among urban adults, serum 25(OH)D status and increase were consistently linked to larger occipital and parietal WM volumes and greater region-specific WMI. Pending longitudinal replication of our findings, randomized controlled trials of vitamin D supplementation should be conducted against brain marker outcomes.
