Effects of calcium supplemented biscuits on bone density

2 group of 45 women each, 60-70 years of age, were recruited for this study during 6 months. All women did morning physical exercise regularly. The first group received a daily suplementation of 50g biscuits cotaining 400mg calcium gluconate and the second group received the same amount of biscuits without calcium addition. The bone mineral density was measured at baseline and after 6 months. The results: in the calcium group, there was a significant increase of bone mineral density compared to the control group. The mean systolic and mean diastolic blood pressures found decreased in the calcium group and increased in the control group.

Role of calcium supplemented cakes in the improvement of bone density

A public nutritional intervention trial on 45 women (ages of 60-70) by using the calcium complemented cakes and 45 women by using common cakes in Namdong and Giang vo communes, Hanoi capital aimed at evaluating the bone density and cardiovascular indices after intervention. The results have shown that the use of calcium supplemented cakes increased the T score of 0,1g/cm2 in the arm and T score of 0,17g/cm2 in the leg of menopausal women and reduced the systolic and diastolic pressure 2,9mmHg and 3,9 mmHg, respectively.
