abstract = {Identifying nutritional strategies to maintain a healthy body weight and
reduce the comorbidities associated with obesity is extremely important.
We aimed to investigate whether calcium and vitamin D intakes are
associated with body composition measurements in a population of children
and adolescents. A cross-sectional study was conducted involving 1060
children and adolescents (65.8% females; 34.2% males) aged 9 to 19. Fat
mass, percentage of fat mass, and fat-free mass were measured using a
body composition analyzer (TANITA BC-418MA®). The mean dietary
calcium and vitamin intakes were 829.66 ±328.34 mg/day and
200.78±400.91 IU/day. Linear regression analysis revealed a lack of
significant association between daily calcium and vitamin D intakes and
body composition measurements after adjusting the model for age, sex,
maturation status, and energy intake. Dietary calcium and vitamin D
intakes do not appear to be associated with higher adiposity measurements
in children and adolescents},
