Veronese, Nicola; Cooper, Cyrus; Bruyère, Olivier; Al-Daghri, Nasser M.; Branco, Jaime; Cavalier, Etienne; Cheleschi, Sara; Rosa, Mário MiguelKnee osteoarthritis (OA) is one of the most common and disabling medical conditions. In the case of moderate to severe pain, a single intervention may not be sufficient to allay symptoms and improve quality of life. Examples include first-line, background therapy with symptomatic slow-acting drugs for OA (SYSADOAs) or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Therefore, the European Society for Clinical a...

Chevalley, Thierry; Brandi, Maria Luisa; Cashman, Kevin D.; Cavalier, Etienne; Harvey, Nicholas C.; Maggi, Stefania; Cooper, Cyrus; Al-Daghri, NasserVitamin D is a key component for optimal growth and for calcium-phosphate homeostasis. Skin photosynthesis is the main source of vitamin D. Limited sun exposure and insufficient dietary vitamin D supply justify vitamin D supplementation in certain age groups. In older adults, recommended doses for vitamin D supplementation vary between 200 and 2000 IU/day, to achieve a goal of circulating 25-hydroxyvitamin D (c...
