Correction: Gvozdenović et al. Impact of Vitamin D Status and Nutrition on the Occurrence of Long Bone Fractures Due to Falls in Elderly Subjects in the Vojvodina Region of Serbia. Nutrients 2024, 16, 2702

1. Text Corrections

There was an error in the original publication [1]. There were typing mistakes in Abstract and Results, Sections 3.4 and 3.5.

In the Abstract and Section 3.5. (Serum Vitamin D Status), the first paragraph, incorrect serum vitamin D levels data in the fracture group, 40.0 (23.0–50.0) nmol/L instead of 23.0 (16.0–40.0) nmol/L, were included in the published version of the manuscript.

In addition, there were errors in the Section 3.4. (The Intake of Vitamin D and Calcium through Food and Supplements), the second and the fifth paragraphs; there were typing mistakes related to the number and percentages of subjects who met the recommended dietary intakes of vitamin D and the percentages of subjects who did not meet the recommended dietary intakes of calcium.

The corrected text appears below:

1.1. Abstract

Serum vitamin D levels were significantly lower in the fracture group (23.0 nmol/L vs. 76.0 nmol/L, p < 0.001).

1.2. Results. Section 3.4. The Intake of Vitamin D and Calcium through Food and Supplements, the Second Paragraph

In the case group, 95 subjects (90.5%) had vitamin D intake < 5 µg/day, while only 3 subjects (2.9%) had daily adequate intake according to the EFSA recommendations (ranging 17.4–30.2 µg/day), while in the control group, 15 subjects (14.3%) had an adequate vitamin D intake (ranging 15.2–43.3 µg/day), while 42 subjects (40.0%) and 41 subjects (39.0%) had vitamin D intake < 5 µg/day and 5–10 µg/day, respectively.

1.3. Results, Section 3.4. The Intake of Vitamin D and Calcium through Food and Supplements, the Fifth Paragraph

At the same time, 99 subjects (94.3%) and 80 subjects (76.2%), in the case and control group, respectively, did not meet the recommended dietary intakes by the IOM recommendations (1200 mg/day) (p = 0.001), while according to the EFSA recommendations (950 mg/day), 93 subjects (88.6%) and 53 subjects (50.5%), in the case and control group, respectively, did not meet the recommended dietary intakes (p < 0.001).

1.4. Results, Section 3.5. Serum Vitamin D Status, First Paragraph

The serum vitamin D, defined as total 25(OH)D serum levels, in the fracture group were statistically significantly lower compared to the control group: median (IQR), respectively, 23.0 (16.0–40.0) nmol/L vs. 76.0 (57.0–91.0) nmol/L (Mann-Whitney test p < 0.001) (Figure 4 and Supplementary Table S4).

2. Errors in Table

In the original publication, there was also a mistake in Supplementary Table S3. as published (Table S3. Comparison of calcium and vitamin intake according to the EFSA and IOM recommendations between elderly subjects (>65 years) with and without fractures in the Vojvodina region, Serbia; Supplementary Material, at: https://www.mdpi.com/article/10.3390/nu16162702/s1 (accessed on 7 January 2026)). There were typing mistakes related to the number and percentages of subjects who met the recommended dietary intakes of vitamin D and the percentages of subjects who did not meet the recommended dietary intakes of calcium. The corrected Supplementary Table S3 appears below.
