Main Outcome Measures: Dietary and supplemental calcium intake was assessed at baseline (19951996). Supplemental calcium intake included calcium from multivitamins and individual calcium supplements. Cardiovascular disease deaths were ascertained using the National Death Index. Multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression models adjusted for demographic, lifestyle, and dietary variables wer...

ABSTRACT Objective To describe the prevalence of inadequate mineral intake and associated factors with calcium, iron, zinc, magnesium, phosphorus, sodium intakes in individuals aged 15-24.9 years. Methods We analyzed 476 from Brazilian Study Nutrition Health, stratified into two age groups (adolescents 15-18.9 years young adults 19-24.9 years). Mineral was obtained 24-hour Dietary Recalls. The ...

BACKGROUND High calcium intake has been associated with both high bone mineral density (BMD) and high urinary estrogen metabolites. However, the role of dietary calcium and calcium supplements on estrogen metabolism and BMD remains unknown. OBJECTIVE The objective was to investigate the importance of the source of calcium intake on estrogen metabolism and BMD. DESIGN The average total daily...

Mechanistic and epidemiologic studies provide considerable evidence for a protective association between calcium intake and incident colorectal cancer (CRC). While the relationship has not been substantiated by short-duration randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of CRC, trials do show a benefit on adenomas, a precursor to CRC. To address some of this inconsistency, we conducted dose-response met...

INTRODUCTION In hypoparathyroidism, calcium supplementation using calcium carbonate is necessary for the hypocalcemia control. The best calcium carbonate intake form is unknown, be it associated with feeding, juice or in fasting. OBJECTIVE The objective was to evaluate the calcium, phosphorus and Calcium×Phosphorus product serum levels of hypoparathyroidism women after total thyroidectomy, fo...

OBJECTIVE To investigate the association between long term intake of dietary and supplemental calcium and death from all causes and cardiovascular disease. DESIGN Prospective longitudinal cohort study. SETTING Swedish mammography cohort, a population based cohort established in 1987-90. PARTICIPANTS 61 433 women (born between 1914 and 1948) followed-up for a median of 19 years. MAIN OUT...

Epidemiological studies show that a high calcium intake reduces the risk of colon cancer. The objective was to study the association between calcium intake and colorectal neoplasia in a clinic-based sample of Hispanics adults from Puerto Rico. As part of this cross-sectional study, a total of 433 subjects were recruited from surgery and gastroenterology clinics at the University of Puerto Rico....
