Healthy Postmenopausal Women Do Not Need Calcium
and Vitamin D



    The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force has recommended against vitamin D and calcium supplementation in healthy postmenopausal women, citing research showing that such supplementation increases the risk of kidney stones and does not protect against fractures in this population. (Published in Feb 25 issue of Annals of Internal Medicine).
    The new recommendation apply to noninstitutionalized or community-dwelling asymptomatic adults without a history of fractures; they do not apply to persons with osteoporosis or vitamin D deficiency.
    They have reviewed the evidence from 16 available randomized trials and updated meta-analysis of vitamin D supplementation with or without calcium supplementation. One of 273 women who received supplementation developed a urinary tract stone over a 7-year follow-up period.
