Calcium Absorption in Postmenopausal Thai Women

NCT02291315 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 22

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Adequate calcium absorption is essential for reducing one's risk of developing osteoporosis. However, postmenopausal Thai women consume diets which are habitually low in calcium due to lactose intolerance and dietary patterns which typically do not include milk-based products. The primary goal of this study is to measure the fractional calcium absorption from milk and a commonly ingested green leafy vegetable (cassia) in postmenopausal Thai women with habitually low calcium intakes. The secondary objective is to determine associations between calcium absorption and biomarkers which impact vitamin D status and bone metabolism.
