ScienceDaily: Vitamin D May Reduce Falls In Elderly Nursing Home Residents

New research suggests that reducing the number of falls suffered by seniors in nursing homes may be helped by taking a vitamin, along with other measures known to decrease falls. According to a study in Journal of the American Geriatrics Society, seniors taking a high daily dose of vitamin D experienced 72 percent fewer falls compared to those taking a placebo.

Add in the calcium from D-fortified milk, and if they do fall they’re less likely to get hurt.
