VIT D

[Guest guest]

Insufficient intake of vitamin D may lead to decreased physical

strength, increased muscle weakness and increased risk of disability

in older women and men, according to a new study published in the

Journal of Gerontology: Medical Sciences.

Because vitamin D deficiency is widespread, the researchers have

suggested that increasing vitamin D intake may help older adults

decrease their risk of disability and maintain better muscle strength

and physical performance.
