And I am also wondering if there is a time of year that dementia is more often diagnosed, because ones vitamin d levels might be lower.

Can anyone point me to some articles that talk about those those questions? My local alzheimer's society is interested in what I have mentioned about the relationship to vitamin d and dementia. (As if I am the one who thought of it!)
