Overview

Systematic review evaluates the impact of vitamin D supplementation on fall risk among community-dwelling older adults, showing no significant effect.

Key Points

  • Vitamin D supplementation showed no significant effect on fall risk in older adults ≥65 years.
  • Analysis involved 23,211 participants from 10 randomized clinical trials, ensuring minimal risk of bias.
  • The study found no reduction in falls with doses ≤1000 IU/day or for durations ≤12 months.
  • Publication bias was detected, yet adjustments did not change the findings, emphasizing a need for consistency.
