Dietary calcium intake and adiposity in adult women
Keywords:

Objective
This study aimed to assess dietary calcium intake and its correlation with the adiposity parameters of adult women living in Diamantina (MG).
Methods
The body mass index, waist circumference, waist-to-hip ratio and percentage of body fat of 50 women were determined. Dietary calcium intake was assessed by the 24-hour recall and food frequency questionnaire. The foods in the questionnaire were divided into three groups: 1) dairy, 2) vegetable sources of calcium and 3) calcium absorption inhibitors. The food frequency scores I, II and III corresponding to the three food groups mentioned above were then calculated.
Results
Approximately 42.0% of the women had a body mass index ≥25Kg/m2; 26.0% of them had some degree of obesity. Ninety percent of the women presented excess body fat and 42.0% were at risk of metabolic diseases. The mean calcium intake per day represented 43.8% of the Adequate Intake and did not differ between women whose body mass index was ≤24.9 and ≥25kg/m2. Scores I and II were significantly lower than that of foods that impair calcium absorption (p<0.05). There were no correlations between calcium intake or scores I, II and III and the adiposity parameters studied (p>0.05).
Conclusion
Low calcium intake may have contributed to the absence of a correlation between the studied variables. Associations between calcium intake and adiposity parameters are still unclear and should be further investigated.
