Relation of calcium, vitamin D and dairy food intake to eschemic heart disease mortality among postmenopausal women

Article Abstract:

It appears that higher intake of calcium, but not of milk products or of vitamin D is associated with lower mortality associated with ischemic heart disease in postmenopausal women. The calcium can come from supplements, diet, or both. Intakes of vitamin D, calcium or of milk products have been studied in 34,486 postmenopausal Iowa women aged 55-69 to see what protective effects they may have against mortality related to ischemic heart disease. They did not have histories of ischemic heart disease.

Relation of calcium, vitamin D and dairy food intake to ischemic heart disease mortality among postmenopausal women

Article Abstract:

The relation of vitamin D, calcium and dairy food intake to ischemic heart disease mortality in postmenopausal women is discussed based on a prospective cohort study involving 34,486 postmenopausal women aged 55-69 with no history of ischemic heart disease. Data indicate that a higher intake of calcium is associated with lower mortality from this disease, but the same is not true for vitamin D or milk products. The effective higher calcium intake may come from diet or supplements or both.

Prospective study of diet and ovarian cancer

Article Abstract:

Researchers investigated the link between epithelial ovarian cancer and dietary factors in 29,083 postmenopausal women. During a period of 10 years, 139 women of these women developed epithelial ovarian cancer. Researchers found no association with dietary fat intake, but lactose and cholesterol showed low risks. In addition, egg consumption was associated with an increased risk, but vegetable consumption was modestly associated.
