- Abstract
In 32 controlled trials of calcium supplementation (700-2000 mg) in 3,169 postmenopausal women, mean bone loss in the controls was -1.07% p.a. and in the treated subjects -0.27% p.a. (P for difference <0.001). The effect was similar at all measured sites and at all doses of 700 mg or more but became weaker after 4 years.
