Full Article Summary Notecard
  1. Levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D may be associated with fall risk in individuals with elevated C-reactive protein.
  2. Elevated CRP levels correlated with increased likelihood of falls.
  3. Nonlinear relationship observed between 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels and fall risk.
  4. Association between 25-hydroxyvitamin D and fall risk modified by inflammation.
  5. Mendelian randomization analyses indicated no association between genetically predicted higher 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels and fall risk.
  6. Future research should explore the impact of high-dose vitamin D supplementation on fall risk in individuals with chronic inflammation.
