Calcium Survey

 

  • The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Nationwide Food Consumption Survey found that the average dietary calcium intake in the United States was far below the recommended calcium intake. The report also indicates that those people with the lowest calcium intakes tended to have the highest body weights as well as a greater risk of obesity.
  • A new study co-authored by the Dean of the School of Public Health at the University of Massachusetts reports that doctors diagnose only 2% of osteoporosis in female patients – a figure that falls far below the estimated national occurrence rate of 20-30%.
  • Dr. Robert Lindsay, MD, PhD, and President of the National Osteoporosis Foundation reports that a majority of the 1,000 men recently questioned by a Gallup survey believed they could not have osteoporosis. However, two million American men have osteoporosis, and another 3.5 million are at high risk. Men over 50 have a higher risk of osteo-related fractures than clinical prostate cancer. One-third of the men who suffer hip fracture will die within a year.
  • According to a study published in the October 1991 issue of the New England Journal of Medicine, postmenopausal women with low bone density can slow the loss of bone or help build bone by exercising and taking calcium.
