“…Patients with primary hyperparathyroidism usually exhibit cognitive disorders [109,110], that could be reversed after parathyroidectomy [110]. Moreover, in the Helsinki Ageing Study, high parathormone concentrations indicated an independent 2-fold risk for a five-year cognitive decline [111].…”

Preventing falls and fall-related fractures in the elderly is an objective yet to be reached. There is increasing evidence that a supplementation of vitamin D and/or of calcium may reduce the fall and fracture rates. A vitamin D-calcium supplement appears to have a high potential due to its simple application and its low cost. However, published studies have shown conflicting results as some studies failed to show any effect, while others reported a significant decrease of falls and fractures. Through a 15-year literature overview, and after a brief reminder on mechanism of falls in older adults, we reported evidences for a vitamin D action on postural adaptations - i.e., muscles and central nervous system - which may explain the decreased fall and bone fracture rates and we underlined the reasons for differences and controversies between published data. Vitamin D supplementation should thus be integrated into primary and secondary fall prevention strategies in older adults.

“…Support for this belief comes from patients with a familial type of dementia that is caused by mutations in the presenilin 1 and 2 genes that are consistently associated with a disrupted intracellular calcium homeostasis 7,8 . In addition, clinical observations in patients with primary hyperparathyroidism show that normalization of the high serum calcium levels markedly improves the neuropsychiatric symptoms 9–15 …”
