Micronutrients & recovery
Among Malaysian reproductive-age women (35-49 years), dietary intakes of calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, vitamin K, and vitamin C are not significantly associated with the risk of bone fractures.
For women aged 35-49, ensuring high intake of calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, vitamin K, and C does not appear to statistically lower fracture risk in this population, according to this study. Instead, managing diabetes and avoiding passive smoking are more critical factors for bone health. Focus on overall health management rather than just micronutrient supplementation for fracture prevention.
The multiple logistic regression analysis showed that none of the micronutrients was associated with bone fractures.
Why this rating
Cross-sectional design limits causal inference; however, the sample size (N=1,730) is robust for an observational study.
