Protective effect of high protein and calcium intake on the risk of hip fracture in the framingham offspring cohort
26 Jul 2010
Abstract excerpt
The effect of protein on bone is controversial, and calcium intake may modify protein's effect on bone. We evaluated associations of energy-adjusted tertiles of protein intake (ie, total, animal, plant, animal/plant ratio) with incident hip fracture and whether total calcium intake modified these associations in the Framingham Offspring Study.
