Brief Summary: Projections from NHANES III indicate that approximately 12000000 US adults 60 years of age have vitamin D insufficiency serum 25OHD 50 nmolL A growing body of evidence suggests that vitamin D status may be important in biologic processes involved in the maintenance of physical function To test the hypothesis that vitamin D insufficiency is associated with poorer muscle strength and physical performance we propose to evaluate the role of vitamin D status serum 25OHD on physical function and falls in the CHS All Stars cohort a population of advanced age The specific aims are as follows

Specific Aim 1 To describe the prevalence and correlates of vitamin D insufficiency in adults of advanced age

Specific Aim 2 To examine the cross-sectional association between vitamin D status and muscle strength leg and grip strength physical performance 3 m15 ft walk time repeated chair stands and standing balance self-reported physical function mobility ADL and IADL disability and falls

Specific Aim 3 To examine the longitudinal association between vitamin D status at baseline and incident disability mobility ADL and IADL disability over 3 years of follow-up

Research Hypotheses Low vitamin D status 25OHD 50 nmolL will be associated with a lower levels of muscle strength and physical performance b higher levels of self-reported limitations in physical function and falls and c greater odds of incident disability
