Abstract
- To explore association of dietary-calcium intake and body-composition with blood-pressure, 417 apparently healthy adolescents (218 boys) were studied for anthropometry, blood pressure, body composition and nutrient intakes using standard protocols. Blood pressure correlated negatively with dietary calcium (r= -0.120, P<0.01) and positively with body fat (r=0.56,P<0.001). Low dietary-calcium intakes and high adiposity may increase risk of hypertension in Indian adolescents. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
