OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to investigate the dietary calcium intake and associated other dietary factors among representative sample of Japanese general men and women. METHODS Data was obtained by linking NIPPON DATA80 and 90 with the corresponding National Nutrition Surveys held in 1980 and 1990. We analyzed data for 10,422 subjects (4585 men and 5837 women) in NIPPON DATA80 an...

The objective of this study was to examine the quantity of calcium intake among adults, the sources of calcium, differences among seasons, as well as the differences between sexes, correlation with body mass index (BMI), and age. The study included 161 healthy volunteers from the eastern part of Croatia. Each subject completed three food frequency questionnaires (FFQ) with 150 items, at an inte...

peak bone mineral density (pbmd) is influenced by both genetic and environmental factors, genes explains most of variation. as the novel candidate genes catsperb and nr5a2 may have been associated with spinal pbmd in adult. this study was to investigate the relationship among these two genes^ pbmd and the life style factors in young female.the rs1298989 single nucleotide polymorphism (snp) of t...

The need for an adequate calcium intake has been the focus of a number of studies.1-3 Calcium is an essential nutrient needed in biological functions such as muscular contraction, mitosis, blood coagulation, nervous or synaptic impulse transmission, and structural support of the skeleton.4 Many studies have demonstrated that calcium intake prevents diseases like osteoporosis, hypertension, obes...

Purpose. Adequate calcium intake is the basis of osteoporosis therapy-when this proves insufficient, even specific antiosteoporotic agents cannot exert their actions properly. Methods. Our representative survey analyzed the dietary intake and supplementation of calcium in 8033 Hungarian female and male (mean age: 68 years) (68.01 (CI95: 67.81-68.21)) patients with osteoporosis. Results. Mean in...

To investigate whether dietary calcium intake is related to body mass index and the sum of four skinfolds among subjects in the Amsterdam Growth and Health Longitudinal Study (the Netherlands), the authors followed a cohort of men and women from age 13 years in 1977 to age 36 years in 2000. Longitudinal linear regression analyses were performed with generalized estimating equations in continuou...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Although it has been hypothesized that a high intake of dietary calcium may reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD), no prospective studies have been conducted to examine the specific association between calcium intake and incidence of stroke or coronary heart disease among Japanese with a low average calcium intake. METHODS To investigate the association betwee...

The purpose of this study was to investigate the association between coffee consumption and bone status (bone mineral density and bone metabolism-related markers) according to calcium intake level in Korean young adult males. Healthy and nonsmoking males (19-26 years, n = 330) participated in this study. Anthropometric measurements, dietary habits, and nutrient intakes were surveyed. Bone statu...

Recent data suggest that variations in calcium intake may influence body weight and composition; however, the relationship between daily calcium intake and muscle mass has not been well established. The objective of this study was to assess the relationship between daily calcium intake and sarcopenia. We analyzed data for older adults (over 60 years) from the fourth Korea National Health and Nu...
