Vitamin D from sunlight exposure (avoiding periods of high ultraviolet-radiation intensity such as in the middle of the day) and supplements should ensure 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25-OH D) levels >50 nmol/L. The target calcium intake from dietary sources and supplements should be 1000 mg per day for adults, rising to 1300 mg per day for women older than 50 years of age and men older than 70 years of age. The US Preventive Services Task Force has recommended against routine calcium and vitamin D supplementation in non-institutionalised elderly people. There could be benefit for those who may be deficient particularly institutionalised individuals.
