Dietary Calcium Intake in Postmenopausal Chinese Women

Dietary calcium intake has been shown to vary both between and within populations. The aim of this study was to compare two methods of assessment of dietary calcium in the local population of postmenopausal Chinese women. The intake was measured using 24h dietary recall as well as a food frequency q...

The aim of this study was to compare two methods of assessment of dietary calcium in the local population of postmenopausal Chinese women. The intake was measured using 24h dietary recall as well as a food frequency questionnaire. There was a high correlation in the measurement of calcium intake between these methods.

The dietary intake of calcium in postmenopausal Chinese women is below the recommended daily allowance for adult females in East Asia, and coupled with other factors may predispose to the development of osteoporotic fractures. 1994-01-01T08:00:00Z text https://ink.library.smu.edu.sg/soe_research/410 Research Collection School Of Economics eng Institutional Knowledge at Singapore Management University Economics
