Abstract in brief

  • This systematic review and meta-analysis examined the impact of vitamin D, calcium, and their combination on preventing falls in older adults by analyzing data from 35 randomized controlled trials involving nearly 59,000 participants.
  • The findings show that daily vitamin D supplementation of 800-1000 IU reduces the risk of falls, whereas higher doses (around 1000 IU) may increase the risk, and intermittent dosing strategies do not provide significant fall prevention benefits.
  • Vitamin D was especially effective in reducing falls among those with lower baseline vitamin D levels (25-hydroxyvitamin D <50 nmol/L), highlighting the importance of dose and consistent daily intake for fall prevention.]

@henningberz @Sabisteb Ich verstehe Ihr Argument und sehe Supplements allgemein kritisch. Ein Apfel bspw. kann mehr, als dessen gepresste Mineralien. Dennoch, seit ich Vitamin D regelmäßig nehme, ist mein Immunsystem im Winter top. Da hilft kein Theoretisieren ;-) https://t.co/5KqGrnm6vM
