- Authors
Bischoff-Ferrari, Heike A.; Bhasin, Shalender; Manson, JoAnn E.
- Abstract
The authors comment on the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force's (USPSTF) recommendation statement on vitamin D and calcium supplementation for the prevention of fractures, as well as the companion recommendation statement on interventions for the prevention of falls among older adults. They discuss the task force's conclusion with regard to evidence of the benefits and harms of vitamin D and calcium supplementation. They also describe the role of exercise interventions in reducing falls.
