Average dietary calcium intake and energy intake of 113 18-year-old university students in Western Australia was examined. Four-day, weighted diet records, including 1 weekend day, were completed by the subjects. A large proportion of the students (68%) had an average daily calcium consumption below the 800 mg recommended by the National Health and Medical Research Council of Australia. A strong positive association was also found between dietary calcium and dietary energy intakes. Many young women on self-imposed energy reduction diets are at risk of a dietary calcium intake deficit at a time when it should be enhanced. These findings are significant for nursing practice as they indicate the need for further health education concerning the importance of dietary calcium in young women.
对西澳大利亚113名18岁大学生的平均膳食钙摄入量和能量摄入量进行了调查。受试者完成了为期四天的加权饮食记录，包括1个周末日。很大一部分学生（68%）的平均每日钙摄入量低于澳大利亚国家卫生和医学研究委员会建议的800毫克。膳食钙摄入量与膳食能量摄入量之间也发现了很强的正相关。许多自行节食以减少能量摄入的年轻女性，在需要增加钙摄入量的时候，面临着膳食钙摄入不足的风险。这些发现对护理实践具有重要意义，因为它们表明有必要针对年轻女性膳食钙的重要性开展进一步的健康教育。
