Kinetic Studies

Calcium in Human Health

Part of the book series: Nutrition and Health ((NH))

Abstract

Kinetic studies have been used to calculate changes in rates of calcium absorption, excretion, and bone turnover in children, adolescents, and adults. The studies have shown how absorption and bone turnover change with intake. For example, adolescents absorb more calcium on higher calcium intakes, sparing bone resorption. Different approaches to analyzing kinetic data have been compared, and in the future, linking kinetics with biochemical and endocrine indices may be necessary in order to understand dynamic changes in calcium homeostasis during health and in disease.
