چکیده

BACKGROUND Sodium is an important determinant of urinary calcium excretion, and race is an important determinant of calcium retention. The effect of dietary sodium on calcium retention and the influence of race have not been studied in adolescence, the life stage during which peak bone mass is accrued. OBJECTIVE The study reported here was undertaken to compare racial differences in calcium retention as a function of dietary salt intake. DESIGN A total of 35 adolescent girls (22 black and 13 white) participated in two 20-d metabolic summer camps, separated by 2 wk, that simulated a free-living environment. The effect of changes in dietary sodium on calcium retention was tested in a randomized-order, crossover design with 2 concentrations of sodium-1.30 g/d (57 mmol/d) and 3.86 g/d (168 mmol/d)-and a constant calcium intake of 815 mg/d (20 mmol/d). RESULTS Both race and sodium intake significantly affected calcium retention (P < 0.01). Calcium retention was significantly greater in black girls than in white girls, regardless of dietary sodium intake (P < 0.001). The high-sodium diet significantly reduced calcium retention in both whites and blacks (P < 0.01), primarily through a decrease in net calcium absorption. Black girls excreted significantly less calcium in the urine than did white girls, regardless of diet (P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Calcium retention is significantly greater in black girls than in white girls but is significantly reduced in girls of both races in response to salt loading.

Magnesium retention from metabolic-balance studies in female adolescents: impact of race, dietary salt, and calcium.

BACKGROUND Previously, we showed that black girls retained more calcium than white girls did and that salt loading negatively affected calcium retention. Racial differences likely exist in other bone minerals also, such as magnesium, in response to salt loading during growth. OBJECTIVE We studied racial differences in magnesium metabolism in response to dietary sodium and calcium during rapid...

Vitamin D status and calcium metabolism in adolescent black and white girls on a range of controlled calcium intakes.

BACKGROUND There are limited data in adolescents on racial differences in relationships between dietary calcium intake, absorption, and retention and serum levels of calcium-regulating hormones. OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to investigate these relationships cross-sectionally in American White and Black adolescent girls. METHODS Calcium balance studies were conducted in 105 girls, a...

Racial differences in skeletal calcium retention in adolescent girls with varied controlled calcium intakes.

BACKGROUND Higher bone mass in blacks than in whites has been related to greater calcium utilization efficiency. Dietary calcium requirements for maximal skeletal calcium accretion during puberty may differ between the races. OBJECTIVE This study compared the relation between calcium intake and calcium retention in black and white adolescent girls. DESIGN A range of controlled calcium intak...
