Ca(2+)/Finding

One finding, on its own

A single claim from the graph, with the evidence strength computed from its study, the sentence it was drawn from, and the paper. This address does not change.

  • Ca(2+) — decreases vertebral fracture incidence

    Evidence strength: very limited.Findingreplicated ×1
    “Over the 10-year period, there was no effect on total fracture (HR 0.90, 95% CI 0.75-1.07) or hip fracture incidence (1.40, 0.89-2.21), but significant reductions in forearm (0.62, 0.43-0.89) and vertebral fractures (0.52, 0.32-0.85) in those assigned to calcium.”
