Primary outcomePrimary: Number of Participants With Suboptimal and Optimal Levels of Vitamin D (Serum-25(OH)D) — 106; 42; 15; 41 Participants
Summary
The purpose of this study is to assess whether all frail elderly admitted with hip fracture has a vitamin D deficiency, and if s-25(OH)D deficiency increases the risk of hip fracture in frail elderly.
Frail elderly are defined as being 65 years of age or older, and living in nursing homes or senior housings.
The investigators' hypotheses state that:
1. Frail elderly with hip fractures will have a suboptimal level of vitamin D.
2. Frail elderly with hip fractures are more likely to have a suboptimal level of vitamin D than frail elderly without any hip fractures during the last ten years.
