Abstract
None:
It has been well known that calcium (Ca) deficiency is a major risk factor for osteoporosis. However, few reliable evidences were available regarding the beneficial effect of increased dietary Ca in osteoporosis. Meta-analysis of the recently reported randomized clinical trials revealed that the beneficial effect of increased dietary Ca on BMD and/or fracture prevention was very small, if any.
