Calcium critical to healthy bone growth in teenage females.(Brief Article)
2002 APR 11 - (NewsRx.com & NewsRx.net) -- Daily calcium supplementation can significantly affect the development of optimum bone mass in teenage girls, according to research presented at the 5th International Symposium: Clinical Advances in Osteoporosis. The symposium was hosted by the National Osteoporosis Foundation (NOF), the Asian-Pacific Osteoporosis Foundation (APOF) and the Sociedad Iberoamericana de Osteologia y Metabolismo Mineral (SIBOMM).
Researchers measured bone mass in 179 Caucasian girls over a 7-year period beginning when the girls were at least 11 years old and ending at age 18. The girls received 1000 milligrams of calcium citrate malate supplements each day. Procter & Gamble Co. supplied the supplements. Current recommended calcium intake for girls ages 9-12 is 1300 milligrams a day. Bone mass measurements, obtained at the beginning of the study and every 6 months thereafter, showed "a significant positive influence of calcium on bone mineral density of the forearm over time" according to the study.
