title: [Incidence of lactose intolerance in postmenopausal osteoporosis].
abstract: The incidence of lactose intolerance was determined in 31 women with idiopathic postmenopausal osteoporosis. Nine subjects exhibited a pathological rise in blood glucose (less than 20 mg/100 ml) after receiving 50 g lactose. The absorption of glucose and galactose, xylose, and fat was normal in the 31 patients. Daily intake of calcium was below the normal range in 3 subjects with and in 6 subjects without lactose intolerance. The association between lactase deficiency and osteoporosis is stressed.
