Title: Calcium and phosphorus intakes, balances, and blood levels of adults consuming self-selected diets. Author: Lakshmanan FL, Rao RB, Church JP. Journal: Am J Clin Nutr; 1984 Dec; 40(6 Suppl):1368-79. PubMed ID: 6507358. Abstract: Metabolic calcium and phosphorus balances, blood calcium and phosphorus levels, and alkaline phosphatase activity of 34 men and women, 20 to 53 yr of age, were determined each season during 1 yr while consuming customary diets. Dietary records were maintained 365 days. Analysis of variance indicated that serum Ca, P, and alkaline phosphatase levels were affected by season (p less than 0.0001), whereas calcium or phosphorus intakes were not. Calcium and phosphorus intakes of the men (1075 and 1533 mg, respectively) were higher (p less than 0.01) than of the women (695 and 1095 mg, respectively), but balances were not statistically different between them. Daily calcium balances for the men and women for the year were -81 and -85 mg, respectively; daily phosphorus balances were -239 and -130 mg, respectively. Stepwise regression analysis indicated that dietary calcium and protein were significantly associated with calcium and phosphorus balances, but in opposite directions, and only in women over 35 yr of age.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
