Abstract
Calcium intake may play an important role in bone health. Low serum calcium is associated with bone disorders and abnormal growth as well as improper functions of muscles, nerves, and certain organs such as the heart. Evidence suggests that Asian populations have been at a high risk of calcium deficiency across studies in the last decade. The narrative review investigated factors affecting the dietary calcium intake among Asian populations, such as traditional non-dairy based diets in many Asian countries, and the high prevalence of milk tolerance. In addition, calcium supplements and fortified foods as well as the related innovative strategies in biotechnology were considered to improve calcium intake in Asian population.
