Levels of Vitamin D and Fracture Risk

There is a lack of clearness on the association between plasmatic levels of vitamin D and fracture risk. A cohort study performed in Sweden has measured the levels of hydroxy-vitamin D (25[OH]D) in 1194 elderly (averagely 71 years of age) followed for averagely 11 years. During this period of time, there have been various fractures in 26% of participants. Fracture risk resulted similar at all levels of 25[OH]D being ≥ 16 ng/ml, while it resulted high among subjects with plasmatic levels < 16 ng/ml.
