식이 칼슘, 비타민 D의 섭취와 골다공증, 고혈압 및 당뇨병의 상관관계

In the light of the increasing concern over the prevalence of osteoporosis, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, we performed this study to review the correlation between the dietary calcium and vitamin D intake and these diseases. To this end, we investigated the effects of dietary calcium and vitamin D on these diseases. We observed that the intake of dietary calcium and vitamin D had a negative correlation with the incidences of osteoporosis, hypertension, and diabetes mellitus. Further, the intake of these two nutrients is expected to improve related mechanisms such as the renin-angiotensin system. Therefore, we suggest that dietary calcium and vitamin D have a beneficial effect on these diseases.
