The webinar will help participants understand the evidence for the efficacy of calcium / vitamin D supplementation for reducing fracture risk, in different settings; appreciate the clinically significant side effects of calcium supplementation; understand the limitations of the evidence base suggested to link calcium/vitamin D supplementation to cardiovascular outcomes; and gain the knowledge necessary for appropriate use of calcium/vitamin D supplements in clinical practice.
