The responsibility of older adults for falls and fractures is increased by many factors, including visual impairment, neurological disorders, orthopedic disorders and the effects of medication. In a study showing that more than a third of people over the age of 65 fell each year, the main risk factor was muscle weakness.1 Muscle weakness and weakness may be associated with vitamin D deficiency, which is common in older adults2 due to the skin's ability to synthesize provitamin calcidiol (25-hydroxycholecalciferol) decreases with age. Severe vitamin D deficiency is common among elderly people confined to homes in retirement homes, nursing homes and long-term care and has been identified as a significant public health problem. review, I discuss recent developments in the screening and treatment of vitamin D deficiency in homebound seniors to reduce the incidence of falls and fractures. In fact, the current recommendations for vitamin D are not designed to guarantee anything. They are simply based on the old default strategy for establishing a nutritional recommendation, which is to recommend an amount of nutrients similar to what healthy people eat. The distinction between an RDA and an AI is important. To be considered RDA, a dietary recommendation must meet the known nutrient requirements of virtually all healthy people. This is an objective criterion that requires proof that almost all adults taking RDA achieve a tangible health benefit or, alternatively, a target blood level that would imply a health benefit. So, unlike the situation for an RDA, we are not sure to assume that taking AI for vitamin D will do anything.
