title: [Calcium in aging, health, and anti-aging. Significance of calcium supplement for anti-aging].
abstract: For prevention of osteoporosis and debilitating bone fractures, poor calcium intake has long been a major public health problem in Japan. However, few randomized controlled studies have been conducted to clarify the relationship between calcium intake and bone mineral density, and the effect of the prevention of bone fractures. Therefore we reviewed the articles about the evidence for calcium intake and bone fracture incidence in European, American and Asian. We get the results that many articles supported the basis of current health guidelines for the prevention of osteoporosis that recommended increasing calcium intake to the recommended age-related daily allowance levels.
