| Vitamin D Falls Meta-Analysis | Risk ratios (RRs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated, using random-effects meta-analysis where appropriate. | 1 | Alalwani YJ (2026) | Fall Prevention Interventions and Fracture Risk in Community-Dwelling Older Adults: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. |
| Vitamin D Falls Meta-Analysis | Conclusions: Current evidence suggests fall prevention interventions may reduce hip fractures but do not significantly prevent fractures overall. | 1 | Alalwani YJ (2026) | Fall Prevention Interventions and Fracture Risk in Community-Dwelling Older Adults: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. |
| Vitamin D Falls Meta-Analysis | Despite consistent fall reduction, the translation to fracture prevention remains uncertain, highlighting the need for integrated interventions targeting both fall risk and bone health. | 1 | Alalwani YJ (2026) | Fall Prevention Interventions and Fracture Risk in Community-Dwelling Older Adults: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. |
| Vitamin D Falls Meta-Analysis | Introduction: Falls and subsequent fractures represent a major public health concern among older adults. | 1 | Alalwani YJ (2026) | Fall Prevention Interventions and Fracture Risk in Community-Dwelling Older Adults: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. |
| Vitamin D Falls Meta-Analysis | Supported by this biological plausibility and by observational studies demonstrating a robust inverse association between serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) levels and the risk of fractures and falls, the medical community has witnessed a global surge in vitamin D screening and empiric supplementation over the past two decades []. | 3 | Kong Sung Hye (2026) | Revisiting the Role of Vitamin D in Fracture Prevention in the Era of Mega-Trials |
| Vitamin D Falls Meta-Analysis | Furthermore, updated systematic reviews and meta-analyses published in 2025 have reinforced the conclusion that vitamin D supplementation does not reduce fall risk among community-dwelling older adults, with some analyses even suggesting potential harm at higher doses [-]. | 3 | Kong Sung Hye (2026) | Revisiting the Role of Vitamin D in Fracture Prevention in the Era of Mega-Trials |
| Vitamin D Falls Meta-Analysis | Most notably, the 2024 Endocrine Society Clinical Practice Guideline now recommends against empiric vitamin D supplementation in healthy adults younger than 75 years, signaling a decisive transition from universal screening toward a more targeted, risk-based approach []. | 3 | Kong Sung Hye (2026) | Revisiting the Role of Vitamin D in Fracture Prevention in the Era of Mega-Trials |
| Vitamin D Falls Meta-Analysis | 1 2 3 Vitamin D, often termed the ‘sunshine hormone,’ has been a cornerstone of musculoskeletal preventive medicine for decades. | 3 | Kong Sung Hye (2026) | Revisiting the Role of Vitamin D in Fracture Prevention in the Era of Mega-Trials |
