Women with a low dietary intake of calcium are at greater risk of fractures and osteoporosis, researchers in Sweden reported. In a large prospective cohort study, women who started with the lowest dietary calcium were 18% more likely to suffer a fracture than those with an intake of about 700 mg a day, according to Eva Warensjö, PhD, of Uppsala University in Uppsala, Sweden, and colleagues.
