Popis: Summary The association between serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D level and post-fracture mortality indicates beneficial relatively high serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D concentrations. A 1-year cohort study on 245 hip fracture patients in Finland indicated the lowest 3-year mortality and highest survival among patients with serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D level of 50–74 nmol/L. Purpose To explore pre-fracture serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D level as a factor associated with post-fracture survival among a cohort of hip fracture patients in Finland. Methods A prospectively collected cohort of hip fracture patients (n = 245, 70% women) from two hospitals was followed for 3.2 post-hip fracture years. Serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D was measured in admission to the hospital and classified
