title: [Nutritional care and management for osteoporosis].
abstract: A significant point of nutritional care and management for osteoporosis is that calcium and vitamin D are recommended to be actively administered on top of sufficient intake of energy and the other nutrients including protein. Daily intake of calcium and vitamin D is encouraged at least 800 mg and 10 to 20 microg, respectively. Calcium and vitamin D are also important for maximizing the effect of osteoporosis drug therapy. Supplement of calcium or vitamin D could be a supportive measure, when their necessary amount is difficult to be consumed.
