Vitamin D + calcium RCP evidence grades in osteoporosis
Spine: not demonstrated
Non-vertebral: A
Hip: A
There is good evidence for efficacy of vitamin D and calcium in the prevention of hip and non-vertebral fractures. It is unclear which of the components provide the benefits. There is little information on the effect on vertebral fracture risk or of benefit in patients who have already had fractures.
