Review: oral vitamin D prevents non-vertebral and hip fractures in a dose-dependent manner in patients >=65 years of age
Evidence-Based Medicine, 10/27/09
Denman M – Meta–analysis showed that vitamin D doses >400 IU/d (range 482 to 770 IU/d) reduced non–vertebral and hip fractures but vitamin D doses <=400 IU/d (range 340 to 380 IU/d) did not differ from placebo or calcium supplementation alone for non–vertebral or hip fractures. Oral vitamin D prevents non–vertebral and hip fractures in a dose–dependent manner in patients >= 65 years of age.
