Abstract:
Thirty-six healthy women were divided into 3 groups according to their calcium intake at week 18 of gestation. The levels of their blood calcium, phosphate, parathyroid hormone (PTH) and calcitonin were assayed during pregnancy and postpartum, and bone mineral density ( BMD) was measured postpartum. The levels of PHI and calcitonin were increasing with advancing pregnancy and reached the highest at the end of pregnancy. The women with higher calcium intake during pregnancy period had higher BMD than that of the women with ordinary diet during pregnancy period.
