Calcium plus vitamin D supplementation and the risk of fractures.

Rebecca D. Jackson, +46 more
TL;DR: Among healthy postmenopausal women, calcium with vitamin D supplementation resulted in a small but significant improvement in hip bone density, did not significantly reduce hip fracture, and increased the risk of kidney stones.
Journal ArticleDOI

Low-fat dietary pattern and risk of cardiovascular disease : The women's health initiative randomized controlled dietary modification trial

Barbara V. Howard, +48 more
- 08 Feb 2006 - 
TL;DR: A dietary intervention that reduced total fat intake and increased intakes of vegetables, fruits, and grains did not significantly reduce the risk of CHD, stroke, or CVD in postmenopausal women and achieved only modest effects on CVD risk factors, suggesting that more focused diet and lifestyle interventions may be needed to improve risk factors and reduce CVDrisk.
Journal ArticleDOI

Calcium plus Vitamin D Supplementation and the Risk of Colorectal Cancer

Jean Wactawski-Wende, +47 more
TL;DR: Daily supplementation of calcium with vitamin D for seven years had no effect on the incidence of colorectal cancer among postmenopausal women, and the long latency associated with the development of colorescopy cancer, along with the seven-year duration of the trial, may have contributed to this null finding.
