How to read a study (without getting misled)
Look for the “who”
Was the study actually in people over 60? Was it community-dwelling, nursing home, hospital, or a specialty clinic?
Look for the “how long”
Short studies can be useful, but long-term outcomes (falls, fractures, heart events) matter more than a quick lab change.
Look for “what changed”
Is the improvement meaningful day-to-day? Better sleep? Fewer falls? More strength? Or just a small number shift?
