Effect of Vitamin D on falls: a meta-analysis. (2004, methodology): “All trials assessed vitamin D treatment in the prevention of falls as a primary(12,18) or secondary outcome.(11,17,19) Three were identified as vitamin D RCTs,(11,12,18) 1 was identified through the falls search alone,(19) and the fifth by examining vitamin D RCTs with bone density or fracture as th”

Effects of Vitamin D and Calcium Supplementation on Falls: A Randomized Controlled Trial (2003, background): “In ambulatory elderly women, Pfeifer et al.(44) found a decrease in body sway after a 2-month treatment with vitamin D (800 IU/day) and calcium (1200 mg/day), as well as a reduction of falls within a 1-year uncontrolled followup.”

Estimation of optimal serum concentrations of 25-hydroxyvitamin D for multiple health outcomes. (2006, background): “However, the results from one trial suggested that 400 IU vitamin D/d may not be clinically effective in preventing falls in the elderly (50), whereas 2 trials that used 800 IU vitamin D/d plus calcium showed a lower risk of falling (37, 57).”
