Abstract
- A recent study conducted at Second Xiangya Hospital in Hunan, China, explored the effects of active vitamin D analogues on muscle strength and falls in elderly individuals. The researchers found that active vitamin D analogues did not improve overall muscle strength, hand grip strength, or back extensor strength. However, they did observe a significant enhancement in quadriceps strength and a reduction in the risk of falls. The study concluded that the use of active vitamin D analogues may be beneficial for improving quadriceps strength and preventing falls in the elderly population. [Extracted from the article]
