title: [Osteoporosis and mineral intake].
abstract: For prevention against the development of osteoporosis and related fractures, the importance of sufficient intake of calcium and vitamin D has been increasingly recognized. However, due to increasing intake of calcium, the relative intake of magnesium and trace elements, such as zinc and copper has been relatively decreasing and thus been focused in recent years. On this article, we will give an outline of the importance of magnesium and trace elements in the regulation of bone metabolism.
