| مستخلص: |
Most doctors encourage women to increase their calcium intake during pregnancy to protect against birth complications and thinning bones caused by the loss of calcium to developing babies. But supplemental calcium does not prevent preterm birth or improve bone density in pregnant women, according to a new report, and may be helpful only in lowering the risk of hypertension. Researchers gathered data from 21 randomized controlled trials involving 17,000 pregnant women. The studies compared whether taking supplements was any better than a placebo or no treatment at all in having a healthy pregnancy and delivery. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER] |
