This article summarizes the new 2011 report on dietary requirements for calcium and vitamin D from Institute of Medicine (IOM). An IOM Committee charged with determining population needs these nutrients in North America conducted a comprehensive review evidence both skeletal extraskeletal outcomes. The concluded that available scientific supports key role health, consistent cause-and-effect relationship providing sound basis determination intake requirements. For outcomes, including cancer,...

In early 2011, a committee convened by the Institute of Medicine issued report on Dietary Reference Intakes for calcium and vitamin D. The Endocrine Society Task Force in July 2011 published guideline evaluation, treatment, prevention D deficiency. Although these reports are intended different purposes, disagreements concerning nature available data resulting conclusions have caused confusion clinicians, researchers, public. this commentary, members respond to aspects that not well supported...

Abstract Vitamin D is an essential nutrient for bone health and may influence the risks of respiratory illness, adverse pregnancy outcomes, chronic diseases adulthood. Because many countries have a relatively low supply foods rich in vitamin inadequate exposure to natural ultraviolet B (UVB) radiation from sunlight, important proportion global population at risk deficiency. There general agreement that minimum serum/plasma 25‐hydroxyvitamin concentration (25(OH)D) protects against...

This Policy Statement was reaffirmed March 2021. Sixteen million US children (21%) live in households without consistent access to adequate food. After multiple risk factors are considered, who that food insecure, even at the lowest levels, likely be sick more often, recover from illness slowly, and hospitalized frequently. Lack of healthy can impair a child’s ability concentrate perform well school is linked higher levels behavioral emotional problems preschool through adolescence. Food...

Historically, fruit juice was recommended by pediatricians as a source of vitamin C and an extra water for healthy infants young children their diets expanded to include solid foods with higher renal solute load. It also sometimes constipation. Fruit is marketed healthy, natural vitamins and, in some instances, calcium. Because tastes good, readily accept it. Although consumption has benefits, it potential detrimental effects. High sugar content contributes increased calorie the risk dental...

Dietary calcium deficiency is considered to be widespread globally, with published estimates suggesting that approximately half of the world's population has inadequate access dietary calcium. Calcium essential for bone health, but intakes have also been linked other health outcomes, including pregnancy complications, cancers, and cardiovascular disease. Populations in low- middle-income countries (LMICs) are at greatest risk low intakes, although many individuals high-income (HICs) do not...

Recent studies suggest that fracture risk is associated with increased undercarboxylated osteocalcin. Methods use differences in binding of and fully carboxylated osteocalcin to hydroxyapatite or barium sulfate. We evaluated these methods found results varied the amount preparation salts. Furthermore, patient samples differing amounts total could not be directly compared. Errors determination were minimized by expressing data as percent sample, correcting for basal level using a polynomial...

Abstract Bone loss is a current limitation for long-term space exploration. markers, calcitropic hormones, and calcium kinetics of crew members on missions 4–6 months were evaluated. Spaceflight-induced bone was associated with increased resorption decreased absorption. Introduction: significant concern the health astronauts long-duration missions. Defining time course mechanism these changes will aid in developing means to counteract losses during flight have relevance other clinical...

The vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene has been implicated as one of the major genetic components osteoporosis. We evaluated relationship between markers mineral status and restriction fragment length polymorphisms VDR in 72 healthy children age 7-12 years. Using stable isotope techniques dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry, we measured dietary calcium absorption, bone deposition rates, total body density (BMD). Fok1 polymorphism at translation initiation site was significantly associated with BMD...
