RESUMO
In hypoparathyroidism (HypoPT), calcium supplementation is virtually always required, although the disease is likely to be associated with an increased risk of nephrolithiasis. The use of calcium citrate (Ca-Cit) theoretically could have a positive impact on the nephrolithiasis risk because citrate salts are used to reduce this risk. Our objective was to evaluate the potential therapeutic advantage of Ca-Cit in comparison with calcium carbonate (CaCO3 ) in HypoPT, on nephrolithiasis risk factors, as well as to their ability to maintain desirable serum calcium levels. We also evaluated these preparations on quality of life (QOL). This randomized, double-blind, crossover trial recruited 24 adults with postsurgical chronic hypoparathyroidism at Campus Bio-Medico University of Rome. Participants were randomized 1:1 to Ca-Cit or CaCO3 for 1 month and then crossed over to the other treatment for another month. The primary outcomes were changes in albumin-adjusted serum calcium and in ion activity product of calcium oxalate levels (AP[CaOx] index). Secondary efficacy outcomes included changes in SF-36 survey score, fatigue score, constipation, and adverse events. No difference in terms of AP(CaOx) index was observed between the two groups. However, Ca-Cit was associated with a significant reduction in the oxalate/creatinine ratio compared with CaCO3 (-2.46 mmol/mol [SD 11.93] versus 7.42 mmol/mol [SD 17.63], p = 0.029). Serum calcium and phosphorus concentration was not different between the two calcium preparations. Ca-Cit was associated with less constipation (p = 0.047). No difference was found in QOL scores. Although Ca-Cit did not modify the AP(CaOx) index when compared with CaCO3, it was associated with a reduction in urinary oxalate excretion that could have a potential beneficial effect on nephrolithiasis risk. These results are likely to have clinical implications in HypoPT, particularly those who do not tolerate CaCO3 and those affected by nephrolithiasis. A longer-term experience is needed to confirm these findings. © 2022 The Authors.

CONTEXT: Guidelines for the dosage of vitamin D supplementation vary widely globally. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the impact of 2 vitamin D doses, bracketed between the IOM recommended dietary allowance (RDA) and the upper tolerable limit, on vitamin D nutritional status in elderly individuals. METHODS: This post hoc analysis of data collected from a 12-month, double-blind, randomized control trial included 221 ambulatory participants (≥ 65 years) with a mean BMI of 30.2 kg/m2 and a mean baseline serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] level of 20.4â ±â 7.4 ng/mL, who were recruited from 3 outpatient centers in Lebanon. All participants received 1000 mg of elemental calcium daily from calcium citrate plus the daily equivalent of either 600 IU or 3750 IU of vitamin D3. RESULTS: Mean 25(OH)D level at 12 months was 26.0 ng/mL with low dose and 36.0 ng/mL with high dose vitamin D3. The proportion of participants reaching a value ≥ 20 ng/mL was 86% in the low dose, and 99% in the high dose arms, with no gender differences. The increment of 25(OH)D per 100 IU/day was 1 ng/mL with the low dose, and 0.41 ng/mL with the high dose. Serum 25(OH)D levels at 1 year were highly variable in both treatment arms. Baseline 25(OH)D level and vitamin D dose-but not age, BMI, gender, or season-were significant predictors of serum 25(OH)D level post-intervention. CONCLUSION: The IOM Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) of 600 IU/day does not bring 97.5% of ambulatory elderly individuals above the desirable threshold of 20 ng/mL. Country-specific RDAs are best derived taking into account the observed variability and predictors of achieved 25(OH)D levels.

Adequate daily calcium intake should normally be achieved by dietary sources. Since low calcium diets are quite common in subjects that do not reach the recommended intake and particularly those at risk of fractures, calcium supplements may become necessary. Different forms of calcium salts are available, but products containing calcium citrate and calcium carbonate complexes are the most frequently used. Although only limited evidence on the efficacy and long-term safety of calcium citrate is available, these supplements may represent a valuable product for the management of different chronic pathological conditions. The aim of this review was to evaluate the current and potential clinical applications of calcium citrate. In particular, we focused on the use of calcium citrate supplementation in subjects with osteoporosis or in bariatric patients. Other pathological conditions that could benefit calcium citrate supplementation may include achloridria, chronic hypoparathyroidism and hypocitraturic subjects with moderate/high risk of nephrolithiasis. Indeed, citrate salts are widely used in the treatment of nephrolithiasis, since they have shown an inhibitory effect on kidney stone formation and recurrence.

AIMS: Cardiovascular (CV) complications are common in chronic kidney disease (CKD). Numerous metabolic disturbances including hyperphosphatemia, high circulating calciprotein particles (CPP), hyperparathyroidism, metabolic acidosis, and magnesium deficiency are associated with, and likely pathogenic for CV complications in CKD. The goal of this feasibility study was to determine whether effervescent calcium magnesium citrate (EffCaMgCit) ameliorates the aforementioned pathogenic intermediates. METHODS: Nine patients with Stage 3 and nine patients with Stage 5D CKD underwent a randomized crossover study, where they took EffCaMgCit three times daily for 7 days in one phase, and a conventional phosphorus binder calcium acetate (CaAc) three times daily for 7 days in the other phase. Two-hour postprandial blood samples were obtained on the day before and on the 7th day of treatment. RESULTS: In Stage 5D CKD, EffCaMgCit significantly increased T50 (half time for conversion of primary to secondary CPP) from baseline by 63% (P = 0.013), coincident with statistically non-significant declines in serum phosphorus by 25% and in saturation of octacalcium phosphate by 35%; CaAc did not change T50. In Stage 3 CKD, neither EffCaMgCit nor CaAc altered T50. With EffCaMgCit, a significant increase in plasma citrate was accompanied by statistically non-significant increase in serum Mg and phosphate. CaAc was without effect in any of these parameters in Stage 3 CKD. In both Stages 3 and 5D, both drugs significantly reduced serum parathyroid hormone. Only EffCaMgCit significantly increased serum bicarbonate by 3 mM (P = 0.015) in Stage 5D. CONCLUSIONS: In Stage 5D, EffCaMgCit inhibited formation of CPP, suppressed PTH, and conferred magnesium and alkali loads. These effects were unique, since they were not observed with CaAc. In Stage 3 CKD, neither of the regimens have any effect. These metabolic changes suggest that EffCaMgCit might be useful in protecting against cardiovascular complications of CKD by ameliorating pathobiologic intermediates.

OBJECTIVE: Following Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB), elevated parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels potentially harmful to bone health are commonly observed. Owing to assumed superior absorption, calcium citrate is often recommended over calcium carbonate following RYGB for the treatment of elevated PTH. We aimed to investigate the impact of either calcium carbonate or calcium citrate (1200 mg elementary calcium) in patients with elevated PTH levels following RYGB. DESIGN: Clinical, double-blinded, randomized controlled trial of a 12-week duration at a Danish University Hospital. PATIENTS AND MEASUREMENTS: Thirty-nine (no drop out) RYGB operated patients with elevated PTH levels (PTH > 6.9 pmol/L) and normal plasma levels of calcium and 25-hydroxyvitamin D were randomized to either calcium carbonate or calcium citrate (1200 mg elementary calcium/daily). We assessed change in PTH as the primary outcome. RESULTS: The effect of the two calcium formulations on change in PTH was comparable and neutral: -1.9% (calcium citrate) vs +0.9% (calcium carbonate), P = 0.680. Compared to the carbonate-treated group, the following bone turnover markers decreased significantly in the citrate-treated group: procollagen I N-terminal propeptide (-16.6% vs -3.2%, P = 0.021), osteocalcin (-17.2% vs -4.3%, P = 0.007) and bone-specific alkaline phosphatase (-5.9% vs 3.7%, P = 0.027) and remained significantly decreased after multivariable adjustment. CONCLUSION: Increasing the dose of calcium supplementation in RYGB operated patients with slightly elevated PTH levels does not normalize PTH levels, regardless of the type of supplement. Our results do not support recommending supplementation with calcium citrate over calcium carbonate in RYGB patients.

La suplementación con calcio reduciría, sola o asociada a otra medicación para osteoporosis, la pérdida de masa ósea y el riesgo de fracturas. Sin embargo, su tasa de adherencia es baja debido a la poca tolerancia. Objetivo: comparar la tasa de absorción neta de calcio entre dos formulaciones distintas de carbonato de calcio (500 mg): comprimidos vs. mousse. Material y métodos: 11 pruebas fueron realizadas en mujeres posmenopáusicas de 58,9±3 años. El diseño fue exploratorio abierto, aleatorizado, prospectivo cruzado de fase 4. Intervención: las participantes fueron aleatorizadas en dos grupos para recibir las dos formulaciones previa suplementación con vitamina D3. La tasa de absorción neta de calcio fue estudiada por la prueba de inhibición de hormona paratiroidea (PTH). Se obtuvieron muestras de sangre: basal y en la 1a, 2a y 3a hora posadministración del calcio asignado, y de orina de 2 horas basal y al final de la prueba. Determinaciones bioquímicas: calcio, fósforo, albúmina, 25-hidroxivitamina D y hormona paratiroidea intacta y calciuria. Análisis estadístico: método de los trapecios para calcular el área bajo la curva (AUC) de la concentración de calcio en el tiempo (R Development Core Team (2008). http://www.Rp-project.org) y Anova con dos términos de error para evaluar el efecto secuencia, período y formulación. Resultados: la mayor inhibición de PTH se observó a dos horas de la toma de ambas formulaciones (comprimidos -39,2% vs. mousse -38,0%; p=ns), con similar AUC0-3 h (comprimidos 3,35; IC 95%: 3,32; 3,37 vs. mousse 3,36; IC 95%: 3,33; 3,38). Cuando analizamos tolerancia y preferencias no se observaron diferencias estadísticamente significativas entre ambas formulaciones. Conclusión: el carbonato de calcio en mousse mostró similar tasa de absorción intestinal, preferencia y tolerancia gastrointestinal que en comprimido. (AU)
Calcium supplementation, administered alone or in combination with a specific medication for osteoporosis, would reduce bone mass loss and fracture risk in postmenopausal women. However, the adherence rate to calcium supplements is low, mainly due to low tolerance. Objective: comparisson of net calcium absorption rate between two different pharmaceutical formulations of calcium carbonate (PFCa) in postmenopausal women. Materials and Methods: 11 tests were performed in postmenopausal women aged 58.9±3 yrs. Design: Comparative, randomized, prospective, open-label exploratory crossover study of calcium mousse versus calcium pills. Intervention: Participants were randomized in 2 groups to receive the 2 different PFCa (500mg): pills vs. mousse, with previous vitamin D3 supplementation. The parathyroid hormone (PTH) inhibition test and the area-under-thecurve (AUC) of calcium were analyzed. Blood samples were taken at baseline and 1, 2 and 3 hrs after intake of the assigned PFCa. Urine samples (2hs) were obtained at -baseline, after 2hs of PFCa intake and at the end of the test. Biochemical Determinations: Serum: calcium, phosphorus, albumin, 25-hydroxyvitamin D, and intact PTH. In urine: calcium. Statistical Analysis: The trapezoid rule was applied to assess AUC in time (R Development Core Team (2008). http://www.Rp-project.org). An ANOVA model with 2 error terms was used to assess the effect of sequence, period, and formulation. Results: The highest inhibition PTH rates were observed after 2 hrs of PFCa (pills -39.2% vs. mousse -38.0%; p=ns). The AUC0-3hrs for both PFCa was similar (pills 3.35; 95%CI: 3.32; 3.37 vs. mousse 3.36; 95%CI: 3.33; 3.38). No statistically significant differences were observed when we analyze tolerance and predilection. Conclusion: The calcium carbonate in mousse showed an adequate rate of intestinal absorption, similarly predilection and gastrointestinal tolerance than the pill presentation. (AU)

The effectiveness of oral calcium (Ca) may be contingent on a patient׳s factors beyond compliance, such as proton-pump inhibitor use and the choice of calcium supplements. A 32-year-old Hispanic male with end-stage renal disease on peritoneal dialysis underwent successful surgical parathyroidectomy (intact parathyroid hormone level: 2,328pg/mL; postsurgical: 287-69pg/mL [normal: 8.5-72.5]). His postoperative course was complicated by severe and recurrent hypocalcemia as outpatient and he needed repeated admissions for intravenous Ca gluconate. Initially, severe hypocalcemia (corrected Ca: 4.8-5.6mg/dL; nadir ionized Ca: 0.57-0.69mmol/L) was attributed solely to medical noncompliance with oral Ca carbonate (3750mg, 3×/day between meals) and calcitriol (2-4mcg/day). Recognizing coexisting treatment with proton-pump inhibitor, oral Ca supplement was changed to calcium citrate (2,850mg, 3×/day) with prompt resolution of hypocalcemia (corrected Ca: 8.1-8.3mg/dL). This current case and the included literature review emphasize the disproportionate effectiveness of Ca citrate in subjects with achlorhydria.

BACKGROUND: Bariatric surgery, especially Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, can cause serious nutritional complications arising from poor absorption of essential nutrients. Secondary hyperparathyroidism is one such complications that leads to increased parathyroid hormone levels due to a decrease in calcium and vitamin D, which may compromise bone health. AIM: To compare calcium carbonate and calcium citrate in the treatment of secondary hyperparathyroidism. METHOD: Patients were selected on the basis of their abnormal biochemical test and treatment was randomly done with citrate or calcium carbonate. RESULTS: After 60 days of supplementation, biochemical tests were repeated, showing improvement in both groups. CONCLUSION: Supplementation with calcium (citrate or carbonate) and vitamin D is recommended after surgery for prevention of secondary hyperparathyroidism.

Recent evidence suggests that Ca supplements increase the risk of cardiovascular events, but the mechanism(s) by which this occurs is uncertain. In a study primarily assessing the effects of various Ca supplements on blood Ca levels, we also investigated the effects of Ca supplements on blood pressure and their acute effects on blood coagulation. We randomised 100 post-menopausal women to 1 g/d of Ca or a placebo containing no Ca. Blood pressure was measured at baseline and every 2 h up to 8 h after their first dose and after 3 months of supplementation. Blood coagulation was measured by thromboelastography (TEG) in a subgroup of participants (n 40) up to 8 h only. Blood pressure declined over 8 h in both the groups, consistent with its normal diurnal rhythm. The reduction in systolic blood pressure was smaller in the Ca group compared with the control group by >5 mmHg between 2 and 6 h (P≤0·02), and the reduction in diastolic blood pressure was smaller at 2 h (between-groups difference 4·5 mmHg, P=0·004). Blood coagulability, assessed by TEG, increased from baseline over 8 h in the calcium citrate and control groups. At 4 h, the increase in the coagulation index was greater in the calcium citrate group compared with the control group (P=0·03), which appeared to be due to a greater reduction in the time to clot initiation. These data suggest that Ca supplements may acutely influence blood pressure and blood coagulation. Further investigation of this possibility is required.

BACKGROUND: The Foundation for the National Institutes of Health Sarcopenia Project developed data-driven cut-points for clinically meaningful weakness and low lean body mass. This analysis describes strength and function response to interventions based on these classifications. METHODS: In data from four intervention studies, 378 postmenopausal women with baseline and 6-month data were evaluated for change in grip strength, appendicular lean mass corrected for body mass index, leg strength and power, and short physical performance battery (SPPB). Clinical interventions included hormones, exercise, and nutritional supplementation. Differences in outcomes were evaluated between (i) those with and without weakness and (ii) those with weakness and low lean mass or with one but not the other. We stratified analyses by slowness (walking speed ≤ 0.8 m/s) and by treatment assignment. RESULTS: The women (72±7 years; body mass index of 26±5kg/m(2)) were weak (33%), had low lean mass (14%), or both (6%). Those with weakness increased grip strength, lost less leg power, and gained SPPB score (p < .05) compared with nonweak participants. Stratified analyses were similar for grip strength and SPPB. With lean mass in the analysis, individuals with weakness had larger gains in grip strength and SPPB scores regardless of low lean mass (p < .01). CONCLUSIONS: Older women with clinically meaningful muscle weakness increased grip strength and SPPB, regardless of the presence of low lean mass following treatment with interventions for frailty. Thus, results suggest that muscle weakness, as defined by the Foundation for the National Institutes of Health Sarcopenia Project, appears to be a treatable symptom.

Racional:A cirurgia bariátrica, especialmente a gastroplastia em Y-de-Roux, pode causar complicações nutricionais importantes que derivam da má absorção de nutrientes essenciais. O hiperparatireoidismo secundário é uma delas que cursa com o aumento do hormônio da paratireoide e consequente diminuição de cálcio e vitamina D, o que pode comprometer a saúde óssea.Objetivo: Comparar o tratamento do hiperparatireoidismo secundário com o uso de carbonato e citrato de cálcio.Métodos: Os pacientes foram selecionados a partir de seus exames bioquímicos alterados e o tratamento foi sugerido aleatoriamente com citrato ou carbonato de cálcio.Resultados: Após 60 dias de suplementação foram reavaliados os exames bioquímicos e percebeu-se melhora em ambos os grupos, tanto com citrato como com carbonato de cálcio.Conclusão: Recomenda-se o uso de suplementação de cálcio (citrato ou carbonato) e vitamina D após a operação para prevenção do hiperparatireoidismo secundário.

Ca supplements are used for bone health; however, they have been associated with increased cardiovascular risk, which may relate to their acute effects on serum Ca concentrations. Microcrystalline hydroxyapatite (MCH) could affect serum Ca concentrations less than conventional Ca supplements, but its effects on bone turnover are unclear. In the present study, we compared the acute and 3-month effects of MCH with conventional Ca supplements on concentrations of serum Ca, phosphate, parathyroid hormone and bone turnover markers. We randomised 100 women (mean age 71 years) to 1 g/d of Ca as citrate or carbonate (citrate-carbonate), one of two MCH preparations, or a placebo. Blood was sampled for 8 h after the first dose, and after 3 months of daily supplementation. To determine whether the acute effects changed over time, eight participants assigned to the citrate dose repeated 8 h of blood sampling at 3 months. There were no differences between the citrate and carbonate groups, or between the two MCH groups, so their results were pooled. The citrate-carbonate dose increased ionised and total Ca concentrations for up to 8 h, and this was not diminished after 3 months. MCH increased ionised Ca concentrations less than the citrate-carbonate dose; however, it raised the concentrations of phosphate and the Ca-phosphate product. The citrate-carbonate and MCH doses produced comparable decreases in bone resorption (measured as serum C-telopeptide (CTX)) over 8 h and bone turnover (CTX and procollagen type-I N-terminal propeptide) at 3 months. These findings suggest that Ca preparations, in general, produce repeated sustained increases in serum Ca concentrations after ingestion of each dose and that Ca supplements with smaller effects on serum Ca concentrations may have equivalent efficacy in suppressing bone turnover.

BACKGROUND: Patients undergoing Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) surgery are prone to developing bone loss and kidney stones. The goal of the present study was to test the hypothesis that an effervescent formulation of potassium calcium citrate (PCC) would avert metabolic complications by providing bioavailable calcium and alkali. METHODS: A total of 24 patients with RYGB underwent a 2-phase crossover randomized trial comparing PCC and placebo. During the last 2 days of each 2-week phase, the serum and 24-hour urine samples were analyzed for calcium and bone turnover markers, acid base status, and urinary stone risk factors. RESULTS: Compared with placebo, PCC marginally reduced the serum parathyroid hormone level and significantly decreased urinary deoxypyridinoline by 12% (P <.001) and serum type 1 collagen C-telopeptide by 22% (P <.01). PCC significantly increased the net gastrointestinal alkali absorption, citrate, and pH and significantly lowered the urinary net acid excretion (P <.001). The urinary saturation of uric acid decreased significantly (P <.001). The supersaturation of calcium oxalate and brushite did not change despite an increase in calcium and pH. In untreated urine samples with citrate concentrations altered to mimic those of placebo and PCC, calcium oxalate agglomeration was significantly inhibited by PCC. CONCLUSION: In RYGB patients, PCC supplementation inhibited bone resorption by providing bioavailable calcium, reduced the urinary saturation of uric acid, and increased the inhibitor activity against calcium oxalate agglomeration by providing alkali that increased urinary pH and citrate.

The combination of calcium with vitamin D (vitamin D(3) [colecalciferol]) forms the basis of preventive and therapeutic regimens for osteoporosis. A number of studies have suggested that the combination of calcium and vitamin D is effective when administered at respective dosages of at least 1200 mg and 800 IU per day, although efficacy is, as expected, affected by patient compliance. Overall, treatment with this combination appears to be effective in reducing the incidence of non-vertebral and hip fractures. Also, in all drug studies (of antiresorptive and anabolic agents and strontium ranelate) that demonstrated a reduction in risk of osteoporotic fractures, patients also took calcium and vitamin D supplements. An important finding in this regard is that vitamin D levels have been demonstrated to be inadequate in more than half of women treated for osteoporosis in the US and Europe. The capacity of the small intestine to absorb calcium salts depends on the solubility and ionization of the salts. These properties vary for different salts, with fasting calcium citrate absorption being greater than that of calcium lactogluconate and calcium carbonate. Calcium citrate formulations taken between meals may help to prevent abdominal distension and flatulence, as well as minimize the risk of renal calculus formation, thus helping to optimize patient compliance. Therefore, calcium citrate combined with vitamin D is the combination of choice for the prevention or treatment of osteoporosis.

OBJECTIVE: To compare biochemical variables, renal function and calcium and vitamin D intakes in euparathyroid and hyperparathyroid patients with primary osteoporosis and osteopenia and describe the measures necessary to normalize serum PTH in the patients with secondary hyperparathyroidism. DESIGN AND PATIENTS: We reviewed the charts of normocalcemic patients with primary osteoporosis and osteopenia first seen during the years 1991-2003 and identified 75 with elevated serum PTH levels at baseline. These patients were compared to all the 143 euparathyroid patients first seen in 1998 and 1999. Patients were restudied after 1 year and we attempted to follow patients with secondary hyperparathyroidism until PTH levels became normal. MEASUREMENTS: At baseline serum PTH, ionized calcium, inorganic phosphate, alkaline phosphatase, creatinine, a complete blood count and serum 25 hydroxy vitamin D were measured in the early morning fasting state. These tests were repeated at follow up. RESULTS: In one-third of the hyperparathyroid patients, the standard baseline treatment failed to correct the secondary hyperparathyroidism necessitating extraordinary measures including unusually large doses of vitamin D (i.e. 50 000 IU vitamin D(2) twice weekly) or the substitution of calcium citrate for calcium carbonate as a calcium supplement. CONCLUSION: Large doses of vitamin D are frequently necessary to suppress secondary hyperparathyroidism in patients with primary osteoporosis and osteopenia. This suggests that vitamin D metabolism may be altered in some of these patients.

Fifty obese women with a body mass index (BMI) over 25 kg/m(2) were randomly allocated into two groups, 25 in each. Group 1, with a mean (+/-SEM) age of 40.0+/-2 years, received water soluble calcium hydroxycitrate (HCA) as Garcinia atroviridis. Group 2, with a mean age of 35.6+/-1.8 years, received placebo. All subjects were recommended a similar diet with 1000 Kcal/day. The trial lasted for 2 months. At baseline the means BMI of Group 1 and Group 2 were 27.5+/-0.2 kg/m(2) and 26.7+/-0.5 kg/m(2), respectively. Group 1 lost significantly more weight (2.8 vs. 1.4 kg, p<0.05) and at a greater rate than Group 2 throughout the study. The decrease in their body weight was due to a loss of fat storage as evidenced by a significant decrease in the triceps skin fold thickness. On a short-term basis, HCA in Garcinia atroviridis was an effective for weight management.

Osteoporosis is a major public health concern. The combination of exercise, hormone replacement therapy, and calcium supplementation may have added benefits for improving bone mineral density compared to a single intervention. To test this notion, 320 healthy, non-smoking postmenopausal women, who did or did not use hormone replacement therapy (HRT), were randomized within groups to exercise or no exercise and followed for 12 months. All women received 800 mg calcium citrate supplements daily. Women who exercised performed supervised aerobic, weight-bearing and weight-lifting exercise, three times per week in community-based exercise facilities. Regional bone mineral density (BMD) was assessed by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry. Women who used HRT, calcium, and exercised increased femoral neck, trochanteric and lumbar spine bone mineral density by approximately 1-2%. Trochanteric BMD was also significantly increased by approximately 1.0% in women who exercised and used calcium without HRT compared to a negligible change in women who used HRT and did not exercise. The results demonstrate that regional BMD can be improved with aerobic, weight-bearing activity combined with weight lifting at clinically relevant sites in postmenopausal women. The response was significant at more sites in women who used HRT, suggesting a greater benefit with hormone replacement and exercise compared to HRT alone.

PURPOSE: To determine the effect of supplementation with calcium citrate on circulating lipid concentrations in normal older women. SUBJECTS AND METHODS: As part of a study of the effects of calcium supplementation on fractures, we randomly assigned 223 postmenopausal women (mean [+/- SD] age, 72 +/- 4 years), who were not receiving therapy for hyperlipidemia or osteoporosis, to receive calcium (1 g/d, n = 111) or placebo (n = 112) for 1 year. Fasting serum lipid concentrations, including high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, were obtained at baseline, and at 2, 6, and 12 months. RESULTS: After 12 months, HDL cholesterol levels and the HDL cholesterol to LDL cholesterol ratio had increased more in the calcium group than in the placebo group (mean between-group differences in change from baseline: for HDL cholesterol, 0.09 mmol/L (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.02 to 0.17; P = 0.01); for HDL/LDL cholesterol ratio, 0.05 (95% CI: 0.02 to 0.08; P = 0.001). This was largely due to a 7% increase in HDL cholesterol levels in the calcium group, with a nonsignificant 6% decline in LDL cholesterol levels. There was no significant treatment effect on triglyceride level (P = 0.48). CONCLUSION: Calcium citrate supplementation causes beneficial changes in circulating lipids in postmenopausal women. This suggests that a reappraisal of the indications for calcium supplementation is necessary, and that its cost effectiveness may have been underestimated.
