This paper analyses the benefits and risks to bone, CVD, and mortality from the largest and longest RCT of calcium and vitamin D supplementation from the WHI with subanalysis for adherent participants and those not taking their own calcium and vitamin D supplements at baseline. It also includes an analysis of a large prospective observational cohort from the same catchment as the RCT.
