Get you up to speed: Vitamin D and calcium may not support bone health as much as thought: study
A study found that 73% of participants were “not at high risk of fractures or falls.” Researchers concluded that calcium, vitamin D, or combined supplements had “little to no effect on fractures.”
Seventy-three per cent of participants in the study were assessed as not being at high risk of fractures or falls. The findings suggest that calcium and vitamin D supplements have minimal impact on fracture prevention among this group.
Officials are reviewing the implications of recent findings indicating that calcium and vitamin D supplements have “little to no effect on fractures” for the general elderly population. As the research suggests that 73% of participants were “not at high risk of fractures or falls,” further analysis into alternative preventive measures is anticipated.
What remains unclear — The specific reasons why calcium and vitamin D supplements had minimal impact on fracture rates remain unknown.
