Calcium, vitamin D, or combined supplements offer little to no clinically meaningful benefit on fracture and fall prevention in most older people, finds an in-depth review of 69 randomised controlled trials involving 153,902 adults Read Full Article #BoneHealth…
📊 New BMJ study of 69 trials involving over 153,000 adults suggests calcium and vitamin D supplements offer little to no meaningful benefit for preventing fractures and falls in most older people.
💊 Despite widespread recommendations, a comprehensive review of the latest evidence indicates that supplements may not be effective for bone health in the general elderly population.
📈 Researchers advise re-evaluating current guidelines for routine calcium and vitamin D supplementation and redirecting focus and funding towards proven fall prevention methods like exercise and hazard assessment.

Two-year, placebo-controlled, double-blinded clinical trial results show supplements with omega-3s (like fish oil) have no effect on memory or cognitive function in older adults at risk for Alzheimer’s disease, despite showing evidence that the nutrients directly…
🧠 New Keck Medicine of USC study in eBioMedicine shows fish oil supplements (containing 2,000mg DHA) had no effect on memory or cognitive function in 365 older adults (ages 55-80) at risk for Alzheimer's over two years.
🧠 Researchers confirmed omega-3s reached the brain, increasing DHA levels in cerebrospinal fluid by an average of 17% after six months, but this did not translate to improved cognitive abilities or prevent brain shrinkage.
🧠 Lead investigator Hussein Naji Yassine, MD, states that while omega-3s are vital for brain cell connections, fish oil supplements are not a proven preventive measure for Alzheimer's. The focus is now on understanding how the brain utilizes omega-3s, potentially as part of a Mediterranean diet.
🧠 The study emphasizes that a holistic healthy lifestyle, including exercise, sleep, and a balanced diet, remains the most effective strategy for protecting brain health and reducing Alzheimer's risk.
