To evaluate the relation between calcium intake and blood lead levels in women of reproductive age living in Mexico City.
Blood lead was assayed in 198 women of 15-48 years of age. By interrogation, the calcium intake was calculated from the frequency of consumption of 11 foods which provide nearly 95% of the intake of calcium in Mexico.
The mean blood lead was 9.71 micrograms/dL (range 1 to 39). We observed a statistically significant decreasing trend between the risk of having blood lead levels exceeding 10 mu/dL and the increase in calcium intake.
Our study suggests the need to evaluate interventions such as modifications in the consumption of milk, cheese, and other calcium rich foods, and their effect on blood lead levels.
评估墨西哥城育龄妇女钙摄入量与血铅水平之间的关系。
对198名年龄在15至48岁之间的妇女进行血铅检测。通过询问,根据11种食物的食用频率计算钙摄入量,这些食物提供了墨西哥近95%的钙摄入量。
血铅平均水平为9.71微克/分升(范围为1至39)。我们观察到血铅水平超过10微克/分升的风险与钙摄入量增加之间存在统计学上的显著下降趋势。
我们的研究表明有必要评估一些干预措施,如改变牛奶、奶酪和其他富含钙的食物的消费量,以及它们对血铅水平的影响。
