According to research presented today at EULAR 2010, the Annual Congress of the European League Against Rheumatism in Rome, low calcium intakes (300 milligrams per day or lower) were associated with a 43 per cent increased risk of developing hypertension or osteoporosis, compared with controls.
“Our study confirms that there may be a link between hypertension and low bone mass and that a low calcium intake could be a risk factor for the development of osteoporosis in postmenopausal women,” said Professor Maria Manara, from the Gaetano Pini Institute in Milan.
“Our study has also shown that a low calcium intake from dairy foods may be involved in this association and could be considered a risk factor for the development of hypertension and osteoporosis.”
