| Abstract | This is the first calcium absorption study performed in Chinese children who may not drink milk regularly. A technique using double-labelled stable calcium isotope was employed to measure true fractional calcium absorption. Thirty four seven-year-old children with calcium intakes ranging from 172 to 1641 mg/d were studied. They were then randomised into two groups, one being given 300 mg elemental calcium daily for six months, the other being given placebo tablets daily for the same period. |
