Scope note: La deficiencia de calcio en la dieta compromete el desarrollo de la masa ósea máxima en niños y adolescentes. En cualquier etapa de la vida, la baja ingesta de calcio aumenta las concentraciones de la hormona paratiroidea en la sangre, lo que provoca la pérdida de hueso. La deficiencia de calcio también se relaciona con la osteomalacia y puede ser un factor importante en la patogénesis de varias enfermedades como la hipertensión y el cáncer de colon. Las fuentes de este mineral en la dieta son los productos lácteos, las verduras de hoja verde oscuro y el pescado. (Traducción libre del original: MAHAN & ESCOTT-STUMP 2002)
