  • Title: [Role of nutrition in the treatment of osteoporosis].
    Author: Tanaka K, Nakanishi Y, Kido S.
    Journal: Clin Calcium; 2005 Apr; 15(4):666-72. PubMed ID: 15802782.
    Abstract:
    Calcium intake was reported to be associated with peak bone mass. Vitamin D insufficiency, which is less severe than deficiency, is prevalent in the elderly and known to cause osteoporosis. Protein malnutrition increases the fracture risk due to decreased bone mineral density and muscle weakness. Other nutrients have also been reported to be associated with osteoporosis. Thus nutritional aspect of osteoporosis should be interpreted from the broader perspectives. Since nutritional status greatly varies from one nation to another, we must add our original evidence in Japan to the report from WHO.
