49名9～11.5岁青春前期女童钙吸收率研究

目的研究中国青春前期女童钙代谢状况,了解中国青春前期女童钙吸收率和影响钙吸收率的因素。方法选择49名处于生长突增期、未月经初潮的青春前期女童,采用经典钙代谢实验方法,在600～1500mgd范围内设计4个不同的钙摄入剂量组,观察研究对象的钙代谢状况。结果在600～1500mgd钙摄入量范围内,各组对象钙表观钙吸收率未发现差别,平均吸收率为(53±0.12)%(范围52%～55%)。膳食蛋白质水平与钙吸收率、粪钙量无相关关系,尿钙与膳食磷含量、蛋白质含量显著负相关(P<0.01)。结论中国青春前期女童钙的表观吸收率为53%;高膳食蛋白质能增加尿钙的排出。     

12～17岁少年钙代谢实验研究

目的通过钙代谢平衡实验探讨中国青春期少年的钙参考摄入量。方法从320名参与1年补钙实验4组12～17岁的少年中,每组随机抽取男、女生各10人,共80人。采用钙代谢平衡实验的方法。实验期共10d,膳食适应3d后,开始7d的代谢试验。收集研究对象试验期内摄入的食品、排出的粪便和尿液样品,用电感耦合等离子体发射光谱法测定样品中的钙含量。结果不同水平钙摄入组间的钙吸收量、粪钙排出量、钙储留量存在差异。钙表观吸收率女生平均为46.4%,男生68.7%。进行曲线拟合后,男生钙吸收率最高时的钙摄入量为665mg/d,女生钙吸收率达到平台时的钙摄入量为650mg。为了达到每日最大储留量,男生钙摄入量要达到545mg/d,女生要达到1055mg/d。结论中国12～17岁男生和女生的钙适宜摄入量有很大差别,男生钙适宜摄入量约为600～700mg/d,女生为1000～1100mg/d。

膳食钙摄入量与青春前期女童骨量关系的研究

目的:研究青春前期女童膳食钙摄入量与骨量的关系,为指导合理钙营养提供科学依据。方法:采用双能X线骨密度测量仪测量年龄在10±1岁的194名青春前期女童全身及多位点骨密度和骨矿物质含量,采用食物频数及3d膳食询问法调查膳食钙摄入量,问卷法调查体力活动。结果:日均钙摄入量与所测各位点骨矿物质含量及骨密度均呈显著正相关;日均钙摄入量平均从257mg增加到759mg,不同位点的骨矿物质含量和骨密度分别增加13%～22%和3.6%～16%。结论:增加青春前期女童膳食钙摄入量有助于获得较高骨量和骨密度。     

补钙对12～17岁青少年锌、铁吸收率的影响

目的通过代谢平衡实验探讨补钙对中国青春期少年锌、铁吸收率的影响。方法从320名参加1年补钙实验的4组12~17岁少年中,每组随机抽取男、女生各10人,共80人。采用代谢平衡的方法,收集研究对象10天内摄入的食品、排出的粪便和尿液样品,用电感耦合等离子体发射光谱法测定样品中的钙、铁、锌含量。结果不同补钙组之间钙摄入量有差异,但铁、锌摄入量差异无显著性。不同补钙组之间钙、铁、锌的表观吸收率差异无显著性。男生钙、铁、锌的表观吸收率平均为69.4%、12.5%和29.9%,女生的分别为46.4%、20.9%和35.3%。铁的表观吸收率与青春发育水平有关。男生钙摄入量为600~800mg/d时,钙、铁、锌的表观吸收率均处于相对较高水平(75.3%、23.2%和36.4%)。结论钙摄入量低于1400mg/d时,不影响12~17岁少年锌、铁的吸收率。当男生钙摄入量为600~800mg/d时,更有助于钙、铁、锌的吸收。     

彝族成年男子膳食中铁、锌、钙的生物利用研究

目的:评价彝族成年男子膳食中铁、锌和钙的生物利用情况,为防治该人群矿物质缺乏病提供基础信息。方法:以代谢平衡法于现场对12名20~22岁彝族世居地的成年男子进行14d试验。试验开始,收集对象空腹血,检测血红蛋白、红细胞压积、血清铁蛋白、血浆锌和钙浓度。试验期间,收集4~12d试验膳及摄入试验膳后排出的粪便和尿样。应用火焰原子吸收法测定膳食、粪便和尿中三种矿物质的含量,分别计算出它们的表观吸收率、平衡状态和表观利用率。结果:彝族成年男子代表性膳食中铁、锌和钙的表观吸收率(%)分别为15.8±6.2、24.5±4.1、32.3±9.7;表观利用率(%)分别为1.9±5.7、12.8±4.3、5.5±15.9。平衡试验显示铁,锌,钙均为平衡,但钙的变动范围较大。结论:膳食中铁、锌摄入量能满足试验对象的需要量,而钙的摄入量则不能满足其需要量。三种矿物质的表观吸收率与表观利用率基本上与我国正常人相同。建议彝族居民增加钙含量高的食物摄入量,以预防钙缺乏。

微生物降解法制备高钙混合液对胎鼠骨骼发育的影响

钙是人体不可缺少的重要的膳食因素,不仅婴幼儿需要,中老年人更为需要。但目前人类因钙摄入量普遍不足而影响健康质量的问题已广泛受到重视。1994年美国国家卫生研究等9个单位召开的钙最适摄入量的会议提出,11～24岁钙摄入量应提高至1200～1500mg/d,才能使成年时期骨密度达到较高峰值;绝经期骨钙摄入应保持在1000～1500mg/日才能不丢失或缓解钙的丢失。因此提倡改变饮食习惯及强化补钙来满足人体钙摄入要求。     

Calcium retention in adolescent boys on a range of controlled calcium intakes

BACKGROUND: National calcium requirements in the United States for boys are based on data from girls. On average, boys develop larger skeletons than do girls, yet it is unknown whether the additional skeletal accretion in boys requires additional dietary calcium intake. OBJECTIVE: The objective was to determine calcium retention in adolescent boys in response to a range of controlled intakes and to compare the intake needed for maximal retention in boys with that needed in adolescent girls studied under the same conditions. DESIGN: Thirty-one boys aged 12-15 y participated in 3-wk metabolic balance studies testing a range (700-2100 mg/d) of calcium intakes in a crossover study design with a 2-wk washout period. Calcium intake was varied by using a beverage fortified with calcium citrate malate. After a 1-wk equilibration period, calcium retention was calculated as dietary calcium intake minus the calcium excreted in the feces and urine over the following 2 wk. The dietary intake at which maximal calcium retention occurred was determined by using a nonlinear regression model. The results in boys were compared with those obtained in 35 adolescent girls previously studied under the same protocol. RESULTS: Maximal calcium retention in boys was achieved at an intake of 1140 mg/d. Calcium retention was higher (by 171 +/- 38 mg/d) in boys than in girls at all calcium intakes studied. CONCLUSION: The higher calcium retention in boys than in girls was attained through higher net calcium absorption and lower urinary excretion than in girls.     

Racial differences in skeletal calcium retention in adolescent girls with varied controlled calcium intakes

BACKGROUND: Higher bone mass in blacks than in whites has been related to greater calcium utilization efficiency. Dietary calcium requirements for maximal skeletal calcium accretion during puberty may differ between the races. OBJECTIVE: This study compared the relation between calcium intake and calcium retention in black and white adolescent girls. DESIGN: A range of controlled calcium intakes (760-1981 mg Ca/d) were used in 3-wk controlled balance studies. Some subjects were studied more than once; a total of 182 observations from 55 black girls and 66 white girls were analyzed. RESULTS: Blacks had 185 +/- 32 mg/d greater mean skeletal calcium retention than did whites (P < 0.0001) at all calcium intakes as a result of significantly greater net calcium absorption (P < 0.001) and lower calcium excretion (P < 0.0001). CONCLUSIONS: Dietary calcium requirements did not differ with race. Higher calcium retention at all calcium intakes during adolescence may underlie the higher bone mineral content of adult blacks than of adult whites.     

Vitamin/Mineral Supplements and Calcium-Based Antacids Increase Maternal Calcium Intake

Objective: The contributions of over-the-counter (OTC) calcium-based antacid medications and calcium-containing vitamin/mineral supplements to total calcium intake during pregnancy, have rarely been assessed. This study estimates the contributions of calcium-based antacids and vitamin/mineral supplements to maternal calcium intake.

Methods: Over an 8-month period, a cohort of 724 prenatal class attendees (out of a possible 1100 participants) at >28 weeks gestation in Calgary, Alberta, completed an anonymous questionnaire on vitamin/mineral supplement intake and the use of calcium-based antacids. A subset of 264 women completed a self-reported calcium-modified food frequency questionnaire.

Results: The use of prenatal vitamins/minerals increased during pregnancy as did use of the single nutrients calcium and iron. Calcium-based antacids were used by 52% (n = 365) of pregnant women. Median intake of calcium from maternal diet alone was 1619 mg/d (mean intake, 1693 ± 94), which rose to 2084 mg/d (mean intake, 2228 ± 116) when diet, vitamin/mineral supplements, and antacids were considered. From diet alone, 18% had less than adequate intake (AI = 1000 mg/d) of calcium and 12% exceeded the tolerable upper intake level (UL = 2500 mg/d). Adding antacids reduced to 5% those below the AI and increased those surpassing the UL to 33%. No adverse events were reported at calcium intakes above the UL.

Conclusions: Vitamin/mineral supplements and calcium-based antacids increased total maternal calcium intake, resulting in fewer women with intakes < AI but also increasing the number of those with intakes > UL. It is suggested that health care providers discuss all sources of nutrient intake with pregnant clients, as cumulative intakes may unintentionally exceed recommended levels.     

Meeting adequate intake for dietary calcium without dairy foods in adolescents aged 9 to 18 years (National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2001-2002)

BACKGROUND: In the United States, >50% of dietary calcium is provided by milk and milk products. Calcium intakes in the United States are inadequate for many children, and a large proportion do not drink milk or consume dairy products. However, no studies have addressed whether dairy-free diets can provide adequate calcium while meeting other nutrient recommendations. OBJECTIVE: To determine the highest calcium intake for adolescents obtained from dairy-free diets, and to examine the relationship between intakes of calcium-fortified foods, using citrus juice as an example, and maximal calcium intakes. DESIGN: In the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2001 to 2002, 65 females and 62 males, aged 9 to 18 years, reported no intake of dairy. We used linear programming to generate diets with maximal calcium intake, while meeting Dietary Reference Intakes for a set of nutrients, limiting energy and fat intakes, and not selecting food quantities exceeding amounts usually eaten in the population. RESULTS: With food use and energy and fat constraints, diets formulated by linear programming provided 1,150 and 1,411 mg/day of calcium for girls and boys, respectively. With the Dietary Reference Intakes constraints, these decreased to 869 and 1,160 mg/day. When we introduced 1.5 servings of fortified juice to the diets, the highest calcium intake increased to 1,302 mg/day for girls and to 1,640 mg/day for boys. CONCLUSIONS: Adequate intake for calcium cannot be met with dairy-free diets while meeting other nutrient recommendations. To meet the adequate intake for calcium without large changes in dietary patterns, calcium-fortified foods are needed. In addition, greater physical activity and responsible sunlight exposure should be encouraged to promote vitamin D adequacy.
