Dietary Calcium Intake Not Associated with Bone Loss

April 15, 2019 • By Lara C. Pullen, PhD

Postmenopausal women are often told to consume more than 1,500 mg of calcium daily to reach neutral bone balance. But new research suggests this recommendation should be revised, finding no connection between dietary calcium intake and postmenopausal bone loss…... [Read More]

Many in U.S. Take More Calcium Supplements than Necessary

March 30, 2018 • By Lisa Rapaport

(Reuters Health)—Some adults in the U.S. who use supplements to get their daily requirement of calcium are taking higher doses than necessary, a recent study suggests. Researchers examined nationally representative survey data on dietary habits and vitamin and supplement use collected between 1999 and 2014 from 42,038 adults. About one in 20 adults got a… [Read More]

Vitamin D, Calcium Supplements May Not Lower Fracture Risk

January 1, 2018 • By Lisa Rapaport

(Reuters Health)—Older adults who take vitamin D and calcium are no less likely to break their hips or other bones than peers who don’t use these supplements, a research review suggests. Researchers examined data from 33 previous trials with a total of more than 51,000 people aged 50 or older who were living in the… [Read More]

Predictive Value of Imaging Studied for Calcium Crystal Deposition in Rheumatic Diseases

September 17, 2017 • By Thomas R. Collins

MADRID—Calcification in osteoarthritis (OA) involves a series of pathways and interactions that feed off each other in a process that bears some resemblance to the transformation of cartilage to bone that takes place in the embryonic stage of human development, a researcher said here at the 2017 Annual European Congress on Rheumatology (EULAR). “My hypothesis… [Read More]

FDA Approves Abaloparatide to Treat Men with Osteoporosis & a High Risk of Fracture

February 15, 2023 • By Michele B. Kaufman, PharmD, BCGP

In late December, the FDA approved subcutaneous abaloparatide for the treatment of men with osteoporosis at a high risk of fracture. This approval is based on a placebo-controlled study that showed abaloparatide led to significant increases in bone mineral density of the lumbar spine, total hip and femoral neck. Abaloparatide was approved in April 2017 for the treatment of postmenopausal women with osteoporosis at high risk for fracture.... [Read More]
