No results posted yet for this study

Summary

In an ageing population, the need for interventions to help older people remain healthy, active and independent for as long as possible, increases. Although several studies suggest a beneficial effect of vitamin D3 on maintaining or improving muscle strength and physical functioning, particularly in vulnerable populations, results are contradicting. Randomized, placebo-controlled trials are needed to further establish the effect of vitamin D on muscle strength in the frail elderly population.The primary aim of this study is to determine the effect of daily supplementation with two different forms of vitamin D on muscle strength in frail elderly people over a period of 24 weeks.
