  • Title: [Calcium and vitamin D intake after menopause].
    Author: Kitatani K.
    Journal: Clin Calcium; 2004 Jan; 14(1):98-101. PubMed ID: 15576963.
    Abstract:
    It is thought that the decrease in bone mass after menopause is attributable to the changes with increasing age physiologically caused by rapid decrease in female hormone, decline in calcium absorption, and acceleration of bone resorption. But it is possible to prevent it from occurring by improving the living habits including daily dietary intake and physical exercise. In the 6th Revised Nutrient Intake Requirements for the Japanese People that was drawn up in 1999, the intake criteria for vitamin D were also newly established. In the process of considering the prevention of osteoporosis in the future, the intake amounts of calcium and vitamin D will become extremely important contributing factors.
