Age-dependent effect of vitamin D supplementation on musculoskeletal health in chronic spinal cord injury patients: A pilot study
CONCLUSION: This study suggested that addressing vitamin D deficiency in patients with SCI had different effects in young and older adults, with both groups showing positive changes in body composition. Particularly, the increase in PM on BIA measurements in elderly patients at high risk of sarcopenia was encouraging.PMID:37851022 | DOI:10.1080/10790268.2023.2257850 (Source: Journal of Spinal Cord Medicine)
