Abstract in brief

  • The meta-analysis found that calcium, especially when combined with vitamin D, can significantly reduce the risk of fractures and bone loss in adults aged 50 and older, with a greater effect seen in those with high compliance and higher supplement doses.
  • The studies showed a 12% reduction in all types of fractures and a notable decrease in bone loss at both the hip and spine when using these supplements.
  • To achieve the best results, the research recommends taking at least 1200 mg of calcium and 800 IU of vitamin D daily for the prevention of osteoporosis in older adults.]
