Background: Low-energy fractures of the hip, forearm, shoulder, and spine are known consequences of osteoporosis.Objective: We evaluated the effect of 1 y of treatment with calcium and vitamin D on bone mineral density (BMD) and bone markers in patients with a recent low-energy fracture.Design: In a double-blinded design, patients with fracture of the hip (lower-extremity fracture, or LEF) or upper extremity (UEF) were randomly assigned to receive 3000 mg calcium carbonate + 1400 IU cholecalciferol or placebo (200 IU cholecalciferol). BMD of the hip (HBMD) and lumbar spine (LBMD) were evaluated by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry, and physical performance was assessed by the timed Up & Go test. Serum concentrations of 25-hydroxycholecalciferol, parathyroid hormone (PTH), telepeptide of type I collagen (ICTP), osteocalcin, and N-terminal propeptide of collagen type I were measured.Results: A total of 122 patients were included (84% women; (x) over bar +/- SD age: 70 +/- 11 y); 68% completed the study. In an intention-to-treat analysis, LBMD increased in the intervention group and decreased in the placebo group, and the difference between the groups was significant after 12 mo: 0.931 +/- 0.211 compared with 0.848 +/- 0.194 (P < 0.05). No significant change was shown for HBMD. The effect of treatment was more pronounced in patients aged
