Total Calcium Intake Is Associated With Trabecular Bone Density in Adolescent Girls With Type 1 Diabetes.

ABSTRACT: Type 1 diabetes (T1D) confers an increased risk of fracture and is associated with lower bone mineral density (BMD) and altered microarchitecture compared with controls. Adequate calcium (Ca) intake promotes bone mineralization, thereby increasing BMD. The objective of this analysis was to evaluate the associations of total daily Ca intake with bone outcomes among youth with T1D. This was a cross-sectional analysis of girls ages 10-16 years with (n = 62) and without (n = 60) T1D. We measured Ca intake with a validated food-frequency questionnaire and BMD, microarchitecture, and strength estimates with dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry and high-resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography. Total daily Ca intake did not differ between groups (950 ± 488 in T1D versus 86
