Résumé

Le déficit en vitamine D concerne une majorité de personnes âgées. De nombreuses études interventionnelles sont maintenant à notre disposition pour mettre en avant l’intérêt de corriger ce déficit pour réduire le risque de fractures et de chutes. Par ailleurs, des études observationnelles décrivent des associations entre concentrations plasmatiques de vitamine D, pathologies cardiovasculaires, cancers, troubles cognitifs et mortalité. Cette revue de la littérature a pour objectif de mieux préciser les données factuelles concernant l’intérêt de la supplémentation en vitamine D chez les personnes âgées vivant à domicile ou en institution et de résumer les recommandations nationales et internationales.

Abstract

Vitamin D deficiency affects the majority of elderly people. Numerous interventional studies are now available to highlight the benefit of correcting this deficit to reduce the risk of fractures and falls. Furthermore, observational studies describe the link between vitamin D plasma concentrations, cardiovascular diseases, cancer, cognitive issues and mortality. The aim of this literature review is to clarify the factual data regarding the benefit of vitamin D supplements in the elderly living at home or in residential facilities and to summarise the national and international guidelines on this subject.
