Abstract
Parkinson's disease is a common, long-term, age-related neurodegenerative disease with no known cure. Vitamin D hypovitaminosis has emerged as a common medical condition in people with Parkinson's disease; nevertheless, whether it is a factor implicated in the cause or consequences of disease still remains to be elucidated. A number of biological processes associated with Parkinson's disease are regulated by vitamin D and its metabolites. This chapter has focused on the links between vitamin D and Parkinson's disease. Vitamin D metabolism and Parkinson's disease are concisely summarized. Relevant research findings about the impact of vitamin D on Parkinson's disease are briefly given, and gut dysfunction in the disease is addressed in a separate topic.
