Abstract

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.
