The Relation between Daily Calcium Intake and Serum Homocysteine Concentration of Adults
"연구배경: 혈중 호모시스테인이 상승할 경우 각종 심혈관계 질환의 위험이 증가하게 된다. 따라서 이를 예방하기 위해 혈중 호모시스테인을 감소시킬 필요성이 대두되고 있고, Vitamin B12, folic acid 등이 효과적인 대안으로 제시되고 있고 최근에는 folic acid, Vitamin B12와 함께 칼슘을 강화시킨 물을 마셨을 때 혈중 호모시스테인 수치가 감소함을 밝힌 여러 연구들도 있다. 본 연구에서는 일일 칼슘섭취량과 혈중 호모시스테인과의 관계를 살펴보고자 하였다. 방법: 2006년 5월부터 2007년 4월까지 일개 …
