VII. Meta-Analysis of Calcium Supplementation for the Prevention of Postmenopausal Osteoporosis
Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To summarize controlled trials examining the effect of calcium on bone density and fractures in postmenopausal women.
DATA SOURCE: We searched MEDLINE and EMBASE up to 1998 and the Cochrane Controlled Register up to 2000, and we examined citations of relevant articles and proceedings of international meetings. We contacted osteoporosis investigators to identify additional studies, and primary authors for unpublished data.
