SEEMS RATHER A STUDY DESIGNED TO GENERATE NEGATIVE HEADLINES.

Conclusions.
An annual i.m. injection of 300 000 IU vitamin D(2)
is not effective in preventing non-vertebral fractures among
elderly men and women resident in the general population.

What does it mean probably nothing .An comparable study on food
consumption would be .People overfed for 2 weeks then not fed the rest
of the year show no health benefit . Tha real guestion is why was this
study even done?

Probably because there is previous study showing that a high dose oral supplementation of vitamin D three times a year was very effective in reducing facture rate.

I agree with the original poster's interpretation. The main problem was the form of vitamin D, not vitamin D itself.
