Bone resorption and dietary calcium in pregnancy —a window to future maternal bone health

ConclusionHigher bone resorption and low dietary calcium in pregnancy were associated with lower BMD 5  years later. These findings could enable the identification of women at risk of declining of BMD in later life, but further research is needed. Adequate dietary calcium should be advised in the antenatal setting to promote lifelong maternal bone health.
