Vitamin D may prevent falls in older women
Vitamin D2 supplements plus calcium may lower the risk of falls among older women who are at a high risk of falling, according to a study conducted in University of Western Australia, Perth. Such women can benefit from extra vitamin D and calcium to reduce their risk by 63 per cent to 53 per cent a year — a drop of about 20 per cent. In addition, they can expect that this treatment will reduce their fracture risk by about 20 per cent over five years, reported the study published in Archives of Internal Medicine.
