Abstract
Calcium nutritional status is substandard in many nations around the globe, when examined classically through dietary intake and osteoporosis. The multifaceted role of calcium extends to neurological illnesses such as Parkinson's disease (PD), and the wealth of factors influencing calcium levels make it difficult to determine an optimal dietary intake for calcium in the aging population. Calcium can be found in foods, supplements, and herbs. Also, source of calcium (e.g., plant and animal) may be a factor in its linkage to PD. Dairy intake and calcium concentrations have been recently introduced as a potential risk factor for PD. However, discrepancies exist among the literature. The present chapter rapidly reviews the possible role of calcium in PD and nutritional neuroscience underlying this link.
