In accordance with a Danish study, low calcium intake is linked with having fewer teeth.
The study which involved 1,602 adults, ages 30 to 60, was made by researchers from Copenhagen University Hospital.
One part of people kept a week record of what they ate, at the time when others were interviewed about their food habits. This info was used for estimation of the amount of calcium each person took in through food and drinks.
It turned out that more than a half of adults did not receive the recommended amount of daily calcium: 45% of women and nearly 55% of men did.
