OBJECTIVES: To determine the effectiveness of vitamin D and home-based quadriceps resistance exercise on reducing falls and improving the physical health of frail older people after hospital discharge.DESIGN: Multicenter, randomized, controlled trial with a factorial design.SETTING: Five hospitals in Auckland, New Zealand, and Sydney, Australia.PARTICIPANTS: Two hundred forty-three frail older people.INTERVENTIONS: Patients were randomized to receive a single dose of vitamin D (calciferol, 300,000 IU) or placebo tablets and 10 weeks of high-intensity home-based quadriceps resistance exercise or frequency-matched visits.MEASUREMENTS: The primary endpoints were physical health according to the short-form health survey at 3 months and falls over 6 months. Physical performance and self-rated function were secondary endpoints. Assessments took place in the participants' homes at 3 and 6 months after randomization and were performed by blinded assessors.RESUTLS: There was no effect of either intervention on physical health or falls, but patients in the exercise group were at increased risk of musculoskeletal injury (risk ratio = 3.6, 95% confidence interval = 1.5-8.0). Vitamin D supplementation did not improve physical performance, even in those who were vitamin D deficient (
