Abstract
Ca and P balances were investigated on men. The results indicate that 520 mg. Ca and 1200 mg. P per day are required for the maintenance of equilibrium. The older adult resembles the young adult in readily retaining Ca and P after depletion. The possible bearing of these facts on the genesis of senile osteoporosis is discussed.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
