    Vitamin D3 and omega-3 supplementation alone did not significantly change serum sclerostin levels in older adults.

  • 2

    A simple home-based strength exercise program (SHEP) significantly reduced serum sclerostin levels compared to control exercise.

  • 3

    Combining omega-3s with SHEP led to a greater decrease in serum sclerostin levels than SHEP alone.

  • 4

    No significant effects on bone turnover markers P1NP and β-CTx were observed from any treatment or combination.

  • 5

    The study involved 1848 participants aged 70 and older, primarily vitamin D replete and physically active.
