Background: National and international experts have been attempting to find diagnostic tools for the early identification of symptoms to facilitate early identification and intervention of the disease. Objective: Detection of urine Alzheimer-associated neuronal thread protein (AD7c-NTP) and serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) in the diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Methods: Subjects aged >50 years who underwent a physical examination at the Taihu Sanatorium of Jiangsu Province, had no clinical evidence of AD-related issues, and had normal Mini-Mental State Exam and Montreal Cognitive Assessment scores were enrolled in the present study. There were 35 males and 15 females, who were aged 51–91 years. Urine AD7c-NTP levels and serum 25(OH)D concentrations were measured. Results: The Pearson correlation analysis revealed that the urine AD7c-NTP levels in these subjects were negatively correlated with the serum 25(OH)D concentrations (r = –0.460, p
