Calcium deficiency
in the diet, compromising the development of maximum bone mass in
children
and adolescents. At any stage of life, low
dietary calcium
intake increases the concentrations of serum
parathyroid hormone
, which causes bone loss.

osteomalacia
and may also be an important factor in the pathogenesis of several
diseases
such as
hypertension

dairy products
, leafy
vegetables
and dark green fish. (MAHAN & ESCOTT-STUMP 2002)
