High-protein diet along with calcium and vitamin D increases bone mineral density.(Brief Article)
2002 MAY 16 - (NewsRx.com & NewsRx.net) -- Previous studies have suggested different effects of high- or low-protein diets on urinary loss of calcium and bone health. In a study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, Dawson-Hughes and Harris explored the associations between dietary protein intake and change in bone mineral density (BMD) and fracture risk in a group of elderly subjects.
One hundred sixty-one men and 181 women age 65 years participated in a 3-year study of the affects on BMD of supplementation a diet supplemented with calcium citrate and vitamin D in a placebo-controlled study. BMD was measured using dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry every 6 months (Dawson-Hughes, B, Harris SS. Calcium intake influences the association of protein intake with rates of bone loss in elderly men and women, Am J Clin Nutr 2002;75:773-9).
Dietary protein was assessed by a food frequency questionnaire midway through the study. The mean protein intake of the participants was 79 g/day, and calcium intake was 871 mg/day in the placebo group and 1346 mg/day in the supplemented group. In general, the men consumed less protein than the women. Those with the greatest ...
