Abstract

Prema Svjetskoj zdravstvenoj organizaciji (WHO) osteoporoza predstavlja veliki javno-zdravstveni i društveno-ekonomski problem obzirom da zahvaća 8-10% ukupne svjetske populacije. Adekvatan unos kalcija povoljno djeluje na povećanje mineralne gustoće kosti i smanjenje rizika prijeloma. Cilj ovog rada bio je procijeniti prosječni dnevni unos kalcija dvjema dijetetičkim metodama u ispitanica koje boluju od osteoporoze/osteopenije i u zdravih ispitanica. U istraživanje je uključeno 100 ispitanica (51 oboljela i 49 zdravih). Prosječni dnevni unos se statistički značajno razlikuje (p<0,05) s obzirom na korištenu dijetetičku metodu. Također se prosječni dnevni unos kalcija u ispitanica s obzirom na zdravstveni status statistički značajno razlikuje prema 24-satnom prisjećanju, tj. nije utvrđena statistički značajna razlika s obzirom na FFQ. Dodatke kalcija koristi 36% ispitanica i u njih prosječni unos kalcija iznosi 96% DRI, dok u ispitanica koje nisu uzimale dodatke iznosi približno 59% DRI. Stoga se preporuča uzimanje kalcija u obliku dodataka prehrani kako bi se ostvario adekvatan unos u cilju prevencije osteoporoze i osteopenije, ali i poboljšanja postojećeg zdravstvenog stanja.

Abstract (english)

According to the World Health Organization (WHO) osteoporosis is a major public health and socioeconomic issue considering that 8-10 % of the world population suffer from the condition. Adequate calcium intake has a positive effect on bone mineral density (BMD) and decreases the risk of bone fracture. The aim of this study was to assess average daily calcium intake with two different dietary assessment methods in patients with osteoporosis/osteopenia and in the control group (women with normal BMD). The study included 100 subjects (51 patients and 49 controls). An average calcium daily intake differed significantly (p<0,05) according to the dietetic method used. Also, average daily intake was different in patients and in the control group according to 24-h recall but not when assessed with the food frequency questionnaire (FFQ). Calcium supplement use reported 36 % of subjects. In average, higher total calcium intake was observed in subjects who do use calcium supplements when compared with non users (96 vs. 59 % DRI). Calcium supplements are recommended as prevention and treatment strategy when it is not possible to achieve adequate dietary calcium intake.
