Pharmacological Management of Osteoporosis in Postmenopausal Women: An Endocrine Society* Clinical Practice Guideline. (2019, result): “The magnitude of risk reduction is consistent with that reported by a previous metaanalysis (115), although not the most recent meta-analysis (116), and is driven principally by trials in older individuals (108).”
European guidance for the diagnosis and management of osteoporosis in postmenopausal women (2018, background): “Calcium and vitamin D supplements may decrease secondary hyperparathyroidism and reduce the risk of proximal femur fracture, particularly in the elderly living in nursing homes [154, 155].”
Vitamin D and human health: lessons from vitamin D receptor null mice. (2008, background): “The combined supplementation with vitamin D and calcium clearly reduces the risk of fractures, according to several metaanalyses (628, 629).”
Calcium metabolism in health and disease. (2010, background): “Calcium supplements with or without vitamin D have long been used to slow bone loss and the development of osteoporosis in adults (42).”
