The importance of nutritional factors such as calcium, vitamin D and vitamin K for the integrity of the skeleton is well known. In addition, bone health is positively influenced by certain elements (e.g. zinc, copper, fluorine, manganese, magnesium, iron and boron). The deficiency of these elements slows the increase in bone mass during childhood and / or adolescence and accelerates bone loss after menopause or old age. Deteriorating bone quality increases the risk of fractures. Monitoring of homeostasis of trace elements as well as measurement of bone density and biochemical markers of bone metabolism should be used to identify and treat patients at risk for non-traumatic fractures. Factors that determine the effectiveness of supplementation include dose, duration of treatment, serum levels and interactions between individual elements. Calcium is now considered a major public health problem because it is of a critically important to bone health and the average American consumes calcium levels that are well below the amount recommended for optimal bone health. Vitamin D is important for good bone health because it facilitates the absorption and use of calcium. There is a high prevalence of vitamin D deficiency among residents of nursing homes, hospital patients and adults with hip fractures.
