AB  - INTRODUCTION: Bone mineral density (BMD) decreases with age, leading to 
      fractures, decreased mobility, and impaired quality of life. We aimed to 
      determine the effects of brisk walking and exposure to sunlight on BMD and 
      balance in the elderly with osteopenia. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We recruited 81 
      elderly subjects with osteopenia from January 2019 to March 2019. They were 
      divided into four groups: a daytime-walking group (n = 20), a night-time-walking 
      group (n = 20), a sun-exposure-only group (n = 20), and a control group (n = 21). 
      The subjects walked briskly for 30-60 min three times a week for 24 weeks. The 
      sun-exposure-only group received sunlight for 20-30 min three times a week. All 
      four groups received supplemental calcium. Lumbar L1-L4 BMD, serum 
      25-hydroxyvitamin D3, timed-up-go-test (TUGT), five-times-sit-stand-test (FTSST), 
      open-eye and closed-eye one-leg-stance-test (OLST) were measured at baseline and 
      1 day after program completion. RESULTS: The lumbar L1-L4 BMD was higher in all 
      intervention groups (P < 0.05), with the daytime-walking group outperforming the 
      others. There was no significant difference between the night-time-walking and 
      sun-exposure-only groups (P > 0.05). The levels of serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 in 
      the daytime-walking and sun-exposure-only groups were higher than those in the 
      night-time-walking and control groups (P < 0.05). The TUGT and FTSST times 
      decreased in all three intervention groups and predominantly so in the 
      daytime-walking group, whereas the open-eye and closed-eye OLST times increased 
      (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION: Brisk walking and sun exposure increase BMD and improve 
      dynamic and static balance in the elderly with osteopenia.
