- Fracture risk 40 percent higher risk if low Vitamin D
- Hip fracture rate increases in winter (subtropical Australia too)
- Fractures reduced by monthly 30,000 IU of Vitamin D, perhaps 100,000 IU would be better
- 4X reduction in bone fractures following Kidney Transplant with monthly Vitamin D (100,000 IU) - RCT

- Following hip fracture 2,000 IU of vitamin D daily improved quality of life
- Younger Parkinson’s patients had better balance after 10,000 IU of vitamin D for 16 weeks – RCT
- Hip fractures worse if both high PTH and low Vitamin D
