    The US Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) recently published a guideline on the use of calcium and vitamin D supplements to prevent fractures in adults. I agree with two-thirds of their recommendations.

    Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine June 2013, 80 (6) 370-373; DOI: https://doi.org/10.3949/ccjm.80a.12066

    Although no randomized trial has yet shown that the test improves outcomes, it is best used in asymptomatic patients at intermediate risk.

Editorial

    Dermot Phelan, MB, BCh, BAO, PhD and Milind Y. Desai, MD
