Position statement recommends vitamin D levels
The International Osteoporosis Foundation has published a position statement on vitamin D. Background to the position statement explains that preventing vitamin D deficiency has a major impact on falls and osteoporotic fractures. Vitamin D deficiency is associated with decreased muscle strength in older men and women and supplementation improves lower limb strength and reduces risk of falling. Vitamin D affects fracture risk through its effect on bone metabolism and on falls risk.
