[Calcium and vitamin D intake in premenopausal status].
Calcium and vitamin D do an important role in bone metabolism during pregnancy and lactation. It is said that calcium supplementation might have only a transient effect on postpartum bone mineral density. However, as for the Japanese women, calcium intake is insufficient. So pregnant and lactating women should supply calcium in particular for prevention of preeclampsia and osteoporosis.
