Overview

Summary of the 2011 IOM report on calcium and vitamin D intake requirements, highlighting implications for skeletal health.

Key Points

  • To review the 2011 IOM report on dietary requirements for calcium and vitamin D and identify clinical implications.
  • Comprehensive review of scientific evidence for skeletal and extraskeletal outcomes.
  • Determined Recommended Dietary Allowances (RDAs) for calcium and vitamin D for various life-stage groups.
  • RDAs for calcium range from 700 to 1300 mg/d, based on population needs.
  • RDAs for vitamin D are 600 IU/d for ages 1-70 and 800 IU/d for ages 71 and older, ensuring at least 97.5% population coverage.
  • Evidence for vitamin D exceeding these RDAs did not consistently show greater health benefits, with some risks noted for levels that are too low or too high.
