Milk, rather than other foods, is associated with vertebral bone mass and circulating IGF-1 in female adolescents
2009
Summary
Low calcium intake hampers bone mineral acquisition in adolescent girls. This study explores dietary calcium sources and nutrients possibly associated with vertebral mass. Milk intake is not influenced by genetic variants of the lactase gene and is positively associated with serum IGF-1 and with lumbar vertebrae mineral content and density.
