Dietary Calcium

Recommendations and Intakes Around the World

  • Chapter
Book cover Calcium in Human Health

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

Abstract

The critical role of calcium in human health has been recognized for many years, as reflected by a long history of calcium intake recommendations (1). Although the need for an appropriate intake of calcium is well recognized among health authorities, data on calcium intakes suggest that a large percentage of the population in most countries does not consume recommended amounts. The objective of the present chapter is to review calcium recommendations and intakes in various countries to provide a current snapshot of calcium nutrition around the world.
