Consumo de calcio por la mujer española de entre 45 y 65 años

Gynecologists believe that dietary calcium intake in Spanish women aged 45-65 years old and living in the areas studied was insufficient to prevent osteoporosis. Consensus is lacking on whether dietary calcium supplements can produce remission of bone loss; 50% prescribed calcium as prophylaxis in women in this age group. Calcium supplementation was usually accompanied by an antiresorptive drug. The most widespread opinion was that calcium inhibits bone resorption and consequently that it can be useful in the treatment of bone diseases causing substantial resorption such as postmenopausal osteoporosis.
