Abstract:

Recent research has shown an association between low dietary calcium intake and obesity in adults as well as overweight in young children; however, this relationship has not been investigated in adolescents. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between inadequate calcium intake and overweight in adolescents. The hypothesis of this study was that there is a negative correlation between dietary calcium intake and overweight in adolescents. The study population consisted of middle school and high school students (n = 102) in a local school district. The gender and ethnic dist

Abstract:

In recent years, dietary calcium intake among children and adolescents has fallen sharply. This trend is alarming because childhood and adolescence are the primary ages for building bone mass. Therefore, an interactive website, Clueless in the Mall (http://calcium.tamu.edu) was developed targeting youth to increase knowledge, improve attitudes, and equip them to incorporate calcium-rich foods into their diets. This website was created with the help of adolescents at every stage of development and has been pilot tested with adolescents at home and in school, showing improvements in knowled

Background: Hypertension is defined as an elevated systolic blood pressure (SBP ≥ 140 mmHg), or an elevated diastolic blood pressure (DBP ≥ 90 mmHg).

The aim of the study was to examine the association between calcium intake and hypertension among obese adults.

Abstract:

Ziel der Arbeit war eine Steigerung der Wasseraufnahme und Harndilution durch Supplementierung von Natriumchlorid (NaCl) oder pH-Wert-Senkung durch Zugabe von Ammoniumchlorid (NH4Cl) zur Reduktion des Harnsteinbildungspotenzials. Durch die NaCl-Zulage wurde die Harnmenge signifikant gesteigert und das spezifische Gewicht des Harns gesenkt. Eine NaCl-Gabe stellt somit einen möglichen ergänzenden therapeutischen Ansatz für eine vermehrte Ausscheidung von Kristallen dar. Eine Ansäuerung des Harns durch Zulage von NH4Cl ließ sich nicht erreichen.

INTRODUÇÃO: Estudos evidenciam a relação da baixa ingestão de cálcio e osteoporose, câncer colo-retal e hipertensão. Mais recentemente, estudos epidemiológicos vêm apontando que pode haver uma diminuição do risco de obesidade e de suas comorbidades com um maior consumo de cálcio e/ou derivados de leite. Ensaios em humanos apresentam resultados conflitantes com relação à perda de peso e alteração dos parâmetros metabólicos. Pretendemos avaliar a interferência da restrição calórica e do consumo de cálcio sobre a evolução dos parâmetros antropométricos e de composição corporal e parâmetros bioquí

Abstract:

A densidade mineral óssea na vida adulta, um importante componente de resistência óssea, depende do pico de massa óssea adquirido até o final da segunda década de vida. Cerca de 40% da massa óssea é acumulado entre 11 e 14 anos nas meninas e entre 13 e 17 anos nos meninos. O objetivo principal deste trabalho foi avaliar a ingestão média diária de cálcio de adolescentes das escolas públicas (estaduais e municipais) e privadas do município de Chapecó-SC. Outros objetivos foram verificar se a ingestão de cálcio dos adolescentes estava de acordo com as diretrizes de referências de ingestão (DRIs),

Abstract:

Vitamin D deficiency and insufficiency are now seen as a contemporary health problem in Australia with possible widespread health effects not limited to bone health1. Despite this, the Vitamin D status (measured as serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D)) of ambulatory adults has been overlooked in this country. Serum 25(OH)D status is especially important among this group as studies have shown a link between Vitamin D and fall risk in older adults2. Limited data also exists on the contributions of sun exposure via ultraviolet radiation and dietary intake to serum 25(OH)D status in this population
