Prevent fractures: prevent falls first, not calcium first
A meta-analysis of 51,145 people: calcium pills didn’t reduce fractures in community-dwelling older adults. Something else did.
- 1JAMA 2017 (33 RCTs): calcium, vitamin D or both — no significant reduction in hip or total fractures
- 2The cost of calcium pills: kidney stones, gut symptoms
- 3Cochrane 2019 (108 RCTs): exercise cuts fall rate by 23%, high certainty
- 4Balance and functional training works best; tai chi may cut falls 19%
- 5WHO: about 684,000 fall deaths a year worldwide, most in people 60+
- 6Diagnosed osteoporosis on treatment: calcium and D as prescribed alongside your medication
Kidney patients: calcium is decided by your nephrologist from blood calcium, phosphate and PTH — self-supplementing can speed vascular calcification.

| 5–25 | JAMA 2017 numbers | Thirty-three randomised trials, over fifty thousand older adults: calcium, vitamin D or both — fractures did not fall. |
| 25–45 | Tai chi and balance training | Cochrane, 108 trials: exercise cuts falls by 23%, high certainty. Fracture equals bone times fall. |
| 45–60 | Kidney + blood test | Kidney patients: calcium is decided from your blood work. Supplement on your own and your vessels may calcify first. |
