Lack of calcium and vitamin D are especially vulnerable seniors, because they are often found people with insufficient exposure to sunlight,

reduced oral intake or impaired absorption in the intestine. If a person is immobile, then these patients are at risk of osteoporosis

with all its consequences. This view is particularly useful for seniors to pay sufficient attention to intake of both calcium and vitamin D

and thus contribute to the preventive maintenance of bone mineral density in old age.

Keywords: vitamin D, calcium, osteoporosis in the elderly
