ABSTRACT
The putative role of aluminium intake in young Bangladeshi children (1.5 to 4 years of age) with calcium-deficient rickets was evaluated in a non randomised controlled eight month trial. The effects of aluminium or stainless-steel cooking pots on bone metabolism were assessed by measuring blood calcium, phosphorus, alkaline phosphatase, parathyroid hormone, 1,25 dihydroxy vitamin D, aminoterminal propeptide of type 1 collagen (PINP), cross-linked carboxyterminal telopeptide of type 1 collagen (ICTP), aluminium and albumin, and by analysis of wrist radiographs. In both groups, blood alkaline phosphatase, 1,25 dihydroxy vitamin D and aluminium decreased significantly, white serum albumin increased (p < 0.01). These results suggest that the nutrition may well be of major importance, whereas the role of aluminium appears to be insignificant.
