Abstract

Symptoms of lactose intolerance are unlikely to occur under usual dietary conditions. Yet, self-described "lactose-intolerant" individuals often restrict dairy and calcium intake. A new study suggests that such individuals have reduced peak bone mass and increased incidence of osteopenia, and are at greater risk of osteoporosis and bone fractures.

摘要

在正常饮食条件下，乳糖不耐受的症状不太可能出现。然而，自称“乳糖不耐受”的个体往往会限制乳制品和钙的摄入量。一项新的研究表明，这类个体的骨峰值降低，骨质减少的发生率增加，患骨质疏松症和骨折的风险更高。
