The WHO recommends supplementation with 1.5–2.0 g/d elemental calcium (Ca) for pregnant women in settings with low dietary Ca intake, to help prevent preeclampsia. There is insufficient guidance on implementing this recommendation and avoiding risk of excessive Ca intake at the population level. ...
Information on nutrition, including calcium intake and alcohol, benefits of exercise, stop smoking, gynecological follow-up, and cervical and breast screening, is also delivered. Measure of BMI and blood pressure with breast and gynecological examination are performed as well as pap smears (according...
Calcium intake (low) Four studies focused on low (daily) calcium intake as a risk factor for MSkIs (Table 1). Three studies were conducted in the Israel Defense Force (IDF) and one in the Armed Forces of Greece. The sizes of the study populations ranged from 64 to 2306 participants. ...
Distinguished from the general population, due to hyperglycemia-induced osmotic fluid shifts, osmotic diuresis, diabetic nephropathy, and certain diabetes medications, individuals with diabetes are at increased risk of electrolyte imbalances, particularly low levels of sodium, magnesium, and calcium [40, ...
Excessive supersaturation of minerals in urine can lead to crystal formation, growth, aggregation and retention in the urinary tract. In addition, studies have demonstrated that the compositions of calculi have undergone substantial changes, and the incidences of calcium oxalate and calcium phosphate in...
Renal epithelial cell injury causes crystal retention and leads to renal stone formation. However, the effects of crystal shape on cell injury and stone risk remain unclear. This study compared the cytotoxicity degrees of calcium oxalate dihydrate (COD)
At least one cardiovascular disease risk factor was present in each of the 509 asymptomatic participants. Patients were grouped based on CACS into "zero," "minimal" (0<CACS≤10), "mild" (10<CACS≤100), "moderate" (100<CACS≤400), and "excessive" (CACS>400). Males over 45 years old...
Men were more likely to be smokers, whereas women were more likely to have hypertension, a family history of premature CAD, symptoms of chest pain, and excessive dyspnea (p < 0.001 for all). With regard to the extent of visualized atherosclerosis, men had an increased number of vessels ...
USA Background: No previous study has evaluated the associations of dairy products, lactose, calcium and vitamin D with the risk of ovarian cancer in African–American women, who are known to have high mortality from the disease, as well as to be at risk for calcium and vitamin D deficiency...
Moreover, serious complications, such as fractures due to excessive hypotension may be prevented because blood pressure is checked while prescribing ABs as antihypertensive drugs. In contrast, patients in the AB for VD group had relatively fewer incidences of HT and cardio-cerebrovascular complications...
