Low Vitamin D Associated with Hip Fracture Risk

Tuesday, August 19, 2008 - Byron J. Richards, CCN

A new study clearly associates vitamin D deficiency with an increased risk of hip fracture, dispelling any uncertainty about this link.  This finding was established by following a group of women age 50-79 over a seven year period.  The researchers found that the lower the vitamin D level in the blood, the more likely a woman was to have a first hip fracture (during the following seven years).  This data clearly established the need for vitamin D adequacy in the prevention of age-associated fractures – a public health finding of the utmost importance.
