The association between serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D level and recurrent falls in the elderly population: a cohort study

Abstract: IntroductionSerum vitamin D concentration is a major contributing factor for increasing the risk of fall and fall-related injuries in older adults. However, when prescribed and supplemented for these populations, the outcomes are controversial, and in several cases no improvement has been reported in reducing the risk of recurrent falls. This study aimed to examine the association between serum vitamin D concentration and recurrent falls in Iranian older adults.MethodsThis cohort study was conducted in the eme… Show more

“…The effects of vitamin D deficiency on bone are well-established, causing rickets and osteomalacia, osteoporosis, falls [ 1 ], and fractures [ 2 ]. Given postulated multisystem effects of vitamin D beyond bone, studies have analysed the association between vitamin D and specific conditions such as infections, sepsis [ 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 ], exacerbations of chronic illnesses, and functional outcomes following falls and fractures [ 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 ]. Vitamin D also appears to be associated with cardiovascular risk through promoting atherosclerosis [ 11 ] and has been linked to inflammation, increased platelet volume, and vascular stiffness [ 12 , 13 ].…”

“…Estes achados reforçam ainda mais a importância da avaliação de riscos e de uma intervenção adequada na prevenção de quedas futuras. Ainda que seja imprescindível registrar a recorrência das quedas, há discrepâncias entre os estudos acerca do período adequado de registro (por exemplo, 6 ou 12 meses) (AIZEN;NIXON;SHUGAEV, 2018;BEAUCHET et al, 2011;GHAFOURI et al, 2016; "Guideline for the prevention of falls in older persons.
