The effects of vitamin D on skeletal muscle strength, muscle mass, and muscle power: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials. (2014, neutral): “Grady 1991 (30) 98 (54) Communitydwelling 79.”
Summary of the Updated American Geriatrics Society/British Geriatrics Society Clinical Practice Guideline for Prevention of Falls in Older Persons (2011, methodology): “Studies from meta-analyses and recent RCTs support the use of combined calcium and vitamin D3 supplementation to reduce fracture rates in older people in long-term care.(55,90,91)”
Nutritional Recommendations for the Management of Sarcopenia (2010, positive): “Replacement of vitamin D in persons with low levels increases strength and function and decreases falls.(80) Vitamin D replacement is associated with less mortality.”
Vitamin D supplementation and total mortality: a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials. (2007, background): “Vitamin D is known to increase postural stability and to reduce fall incidence by 22% in elderly subjects, but about 15 elderly people must take vitamin D supplements for avoiding 1 person from falling.(49) Such an effect cannot translate to a 7% decrease in total mortality.”
Prevalence of Vitamin D inadequacy among postmenopausal North American women receiving osteoporosis therapy. (2005, background): “A recently published metaanalysis demonstrated that vitamin D supplementation reduced the likelihood of falling by more than 20%, compared with calcium or placebo (39).”
Sarcopenia: Its assessment, etiology, pathogenesis, consequences and future perspectives (2008, background): “Vitamin D supplementation between 700 and 800 iu per day reduces the risk of hip fracture (and any non vertebral fracture) in community-dwelling and nursing home elderly (300) and the risk of falls (143).”
Fracture prevention with vitamin D supplementation: a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials. (2005, methodology): “Furthermore, vitamin D has been associated with a significant 22% reduction in the risk of falling in older individuals.(37) As both bone loss and falls are important risk factors for fractures in older persons,(38,39) it is plausible that vitamin D supplementation in a sufficient dose reduces the r”
