Abstract
Serum vitamin D concentration has been implemented as a major contributing factor for increasing the risk of fall and fall related injuries in older adults. However, when prescribed and supplemented for these populations, the outcomes are controversial and in several cases no improvement has been reported in reducing the risk of recurrent fall. Therefore, the aim of this study is to examine the association between serum vitamin D concentration and recurrent falls in Iranian older adults. This prospective observational study was conducted in the emergency departments of two university hospitals. During this study, a cohort of 82 elderly participants who aged over 60 and suffered from an unintentional episode of falling; was evaluated after 6 month of their first ED visit.
