Abstract: Until now, the role of various micronutrients on the risk of Alzheimer's disease is still widely debated, including the role of calcitriol and folic acid in patients with alzheimer's disease. The study aims to present the results of an analysis related to the significant role of calcitriol and folic acid in alzheimer's disease. The criteria for articles used in this literature review study are 1) focus on the role of calcitriol and folic acid in alzheimer's disease; 2) articles published in national l and international journals; 3) articles published in the last 10 years; 4) contain keywords calcitriol or folic acid and alzheimer. The total number of articles used in this study was 9 articles, mostly from international journals. The results showed that folic acid is one of the micronutrients that affect cognitive function and alzheimer's risk where folic acid administration in alzheimer's patients can improve cognitive processes. Furthermore, the role of calcitriol and vitamin D on the risk of alzheimer is believed to be very important where calcitriol deficiency can increase the risk of alzheimer. Therefore, it is important for people, especially the elderly, to pay attention to the intake of macro and micro nutrients in the body. This literature review is expected to be a reference for the general public to pay attention to nutritional content, especially calcitriol and folic acid to prevent alzheimer's disease.
