Abstract
How much calcium is required for bone health, in terms of gaining and maintaining bone minerals? In the Guidelines on the management and treatment of osteoporosis (2006), 800 mg of calcium intake per day is recommended, and Dietary Reference Intakes for Japanese (2010), which is aimed at healthy people, shows that the recommended dietary allowance of calcium for adult women is 600 - 650 mg/day. These amounts are based on assumption when sufficient bone minerals were secured at their growth periods. Because there is a significant relationship between calcium intake and bone mass, more calcium intake should be recommended.
