N2 - Malnutrition in elderly people contributes to osteoporosis and fracture. The aim of the study was to investigate the effects of nutritional improvement on bone metabolism in elderly community-dwelling women. A 12-month randomized controlled trial of 71 ambulant women aged greater than or equal to70 years with BMI less than or equal to21 kg/m(2) and osteoporosis at the hip was undertaken. They received either calcium (1 g) and vitamin D (800 units of cholecalciferol) only (group 1: n=35) or calcium/vitamin D and one or two cartons of a nutritional supplement drink which provided 300 Kcal, 12 g protein, 11.6 g fat and 36.8 g carbohydrate per carton(group 2: n=36). Body composition and bone mineral density (BMD) were assessed at baseline and 12 months. Biochemical markers of bone turnover were measured at baseline and at 1, 3, 6, 9 and 12 months. Group 2 gained significantly more weight [mean (SD) group 1: 0.15 (2.45), group 2:2.66 (2.8) kg P
