Significant increases in muscle strength and reductions in body muscle mass losses in women, even 12 years after menopause, were seen in a recent study.
A double blind, placebo controlled study lasting over 9 months found a deficiency in Vitamin D was very common in postmenopausal women throughout the world. These Vitamin D deficiencies created muscle weakness and a greater tendency for falls that could cause harm. Researchers estimated muscle mass using dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) and by using handgrip strength tests and chair rising tests.
Women who received the Vitamin D supplements showed a 25.3% increase in muscle strength. Women who received the placebo lost an average of 6.8% of muscle mass and also were 2 times more likely to fall.
Researchers concluded Vitamin D supplementation alone provided “significant protection against the occurrence of sarcopenia, which is a degenerative loss of skeletal muscle”.
