The International Osteoporosis Foundation (IOF) is concerned that people may not be getting enough calcium to maintain optimum bone health. As shown on this infographic, 89% of those who used the new IOF Calcium Calculator to assess their dietary calcium intake were found to be deficient in this important mineral. The calculator, available at  www.iobonehealth.org or as an APP, helps people calculate their approximate daily calcium intake based on their typical weekly diet. (PRNewsFoto/IOF) (PRNewsFoto/IOF)

NYON, Suiza, October 20, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --

- Un calculador alerta que el 89% de los usuarios no consume suficiente calcio, un nutriente clave para una buena salud ósea

Nuevos hallazgos difundidos por la International Osteoporosis Foundation (IOF) en el World Osteoporosis Day por medio de la International Osteoporosis Foundation (IOF) muestran que el 89% de quienes usaron el nuevo calculador de calcio IOF - basado en las recomendaciones del Institute of Medicine (IOM)* - presentan una ingesta insuficiente de calcio. La herramienta online gratuita, ayuda a las personas a calcular su ingesta de calcio diaria aproximada en base a su dieta habitual durante una semana.

  • Calculador de calcio de IOF (http://www.iofbonehealth.org/calcium-calculator)
  • Infografía de los resultados de la encuesta (http://www.worldosteoporosisday.org/press-centre)

El calcio es un componente basal para nuestro tejido óseo, con un 99% almacenándose en el esqueleto. Junto a la vitamina D, las proteínas y otros micronutrientes, la ingesta adecuada de calcio ayuda a los jóvenes a construir huesos más fuertes y maximizar su masa ósea potencial y, a las personas mayores a mantener la salud de sus huesos conforme se hacen mayores.

Las recomendaciones de calcio varían de acuerdo a la edad y el género a nivel mundial. Según el Institute of Medicine (IOM), los jóvenes entre 9 y 18 años deben alcanzar una ingesta de calcio de 1.300 mg/día, mientras que las mujeres posmenopáusicas y hombres de más de 70 años han de tomar al menos 1.200 mg al día.

Los resultados del calculador de calcio de 6.908 usuarios en 83 países, mostraron que:

  • Una ingesta de calcio promedio de 594 mg al día. Incluso si se añadiera una cantidad adicional de 300 mg a la cifra total para cualquier calcio conseguido por medio de fuentes no incluidas en el calculador, los usuarios seguirían presentando una ingesta deficiente
  • Los hombres y las mujeres tienen porcentajes casi iguales de insuficiencia (89% frente a 90%, respectivamente), sin diferencia importante por grupos de edad
  • Solo un 11% alcanzó una ingesta de calcio suficiente
  • El 29% de los encuestados habían sido diagnosticados por osteoporosis u osteopenia con anterioridad

Judy Stenmark, CEO de la IOF, señaló: "Estos hallazgos indican que muchas personas no son conscientes de la importancia de una nutrición adecuada para sus huesos. Una dieta equilibrada y rica en nutrientes, en combinación con ejercicio regular y estilos de vida saludables, como no fumar y beber alcohol en forma moderada, constituyen las bases para mantener huesos fuertes a toda edad. Para todos aquellos en riesgo de fractura debido a la osteoporosis, una dieta saludable para los huesos ayuda a la prevención de las caídas y mejora los beneficios de la terapia".

" Informes controvertidos aparecidos recientemente en los medios con relación al calcio, vitamina D y el rol de los suplementos podría crear confusión. Lo importante es recordar que conseguir la ingesta diaria recomendada de calcio y vitamina D, junto otros nutrientes importantes, es necesario para alcanzar una buena salud ósea. Hay que reconocer que la ingesta diaria recomendada de calcio  varía en todo el mundo. La IOF usa las recomendaciones IOM como estándar de referencia, pero apoya el uso de recomendaciones nacionales/locales. Las necesidades de calcio deben cumplirse principalmente a traves de fuentes alimenticias. Los suplementos podrían ser beneficiosos si la ingesta de calcio no puede alcanzarse con la dieta, sobre todo en presencia de ciertas condiciones médicas. Todos aquellos que estén interesados, deben consultar a su medico, quien podrá asesorarle de forma adecuada", concluyó.

La osteoporosis, una enfermedad crónica que hace que los huesos se debiliten y sean propensos a fracturarse, afecta aproximadamente a una de cada tres mujeres y uno de cada cinco hombres de más de 50 años. Las fracturas osteoporóticas son la principal causa de dolor, discapacidad y pérdida de independencia en las personas mayores en todo el mundo.

El Calculador de calcio se encuentra disponible en forma gratuita:
