Interest in calcium has continued since the 1980s when its role in promoting bone growth and retention was established in clinical trials of children and postmenopausal women. The human nutrition functions now attributed to calcium have expanded beyond bone health to include other conditions such as body weight maintenance. While most efforts have been focused on the findings that dietary intakes are low, there are emerging data on safety concerns of excess amounts. This Special Issue on calcium nutrition, spanning the lifecycle from critically ill neonates through to older adults, has been written by some of the leading researchers in this field.
自 20 世纪 80 年代以来,人们对钙的兴趣持续不减,当时在儿童和绝经后妇女的临床试验中确立了钙在促进骨骼生长和保留方面的作用。现在,人们赋予钙的人类营养功能已经超出了骨骼健康的范围,包括维持体重等其他情况。虽然大多数研究都集中在饮食摄入量低的发现上,但也有关于过量的安全性问题的新数据。本关于钙营养的特刊涵盖了从重症新生儿到老年人的整个生命周期,由该领域的一些主要研究人员撰写。
