... Dietary factors, in particular calcium levels, may contribute to the development of stress fractures via influences on bone density and bone remodeling. In animal studies, a calcium-deficient diet decreased the ability of bone to adapt to mechanical strain, while high dietary calcium intake had a favorable effect on bone biomechanical properties.

PHYSICAL TRAINING INTERVENTIONS TO REDUCE STRESS FRACTURE INCIDENCE IN NAVY AND MARINE CORPS RECRUIT TRAINING CDR Richard A Shaffer, MSC, USN, Ph.D., MP.H., Naval Health Research Center, San Diego, CA 92186 Introduction Stress fractures during military trading have a high fiscal and operational impact in Navy and Manne Corps populations.

... Brodine Introduction Intense military physical training subjects the bones of Me lower limb to repetitive bending and torsional stresses that can lead to failure or stress fracture. Because not ever litary recruit suffers a stress fracture during training suggests that individuals with stress fractures have weaker bones.

... Means and relative risks are presented in Table A-3. For a subset of 840 soldiers, the risk factors were combined in one backwards logistic regression analysis.

... Both stress fracture during military basic training and osteoporotic fracture are examples of fragility fracture. Evaluating fitness, QUS, and smoking history-three independent determinants of stress fracture risk gives a complete yet conveniently obtained picture of stress

... Specker, Ph.D., South Dakota State University, Broohngs, SD 57007 Both calcium intake and physical activity are thought to affect bone mass accretion early In life and bone loss later In life. However, results from randomized trials are not consistent.
From page 84...
... Some concern has been raised that high calcium Intakes compromise iron, magnesium, and zinc status. Several recent studies have shown no had effects on magnesium status of up to 2 g/d of calcium intake.
From page 85...
... female population (USDA, Diet and Health Knowledge Survey, 1988-1991) identified inadequate calcium intake with the potential health outcome of osteoporosis, even Cough 50 percent of female soldiers believed their diets were too low In calcium.
From page 86...
... It is well recognized that these situations result in increased bone turnover, bone loss, nitrogen loss, and skeletal muscle Reconditioning. A series of studies were conducted in viva that focused on improving an existing catabolic model of inactivity and testing countermeasures to prevent nitrogen, muscle, and bone loss within the enhanced catabolic model.
From page 87...
... In these penods, formation exceeds resorption avid accretion of bone and positive skeletal balance. Turnover, also termed remocleling, reaches a nadir as peak bone mass is attained during the third and fourth decades and the skeleton is in zero balance.

... is abundant in the adult skeleton and plays a central role In remodeling as well as In acquisition of peak bone mass. Moreover, growth hormone and IGF-1 are major determinants of tears body mass.
From page 89...
... These data suggest that IGF-1 may play a key role in determining peak bone mass, and the heritable differences In the expression of IGF-l could detente muscuToskeletal strength and balance. These findings, produced through the unique collaborative efforts of several investigators, may have future implications for screening recruits who are at high risk for subsequent stress fractures.
From page 90...
... Recognition that calcium intake by young American women declined markedly in the past three decades while the prevalence of osteoporosis among older women increased dramatically has led to widespread investigations of the relationships between calcium intake and bone health. However.
From page 91...
... Because Caucasian women acquire at least 95 percent of their bone mass by age 20, the volunteers must be studied again at and after this age. With regard to bone health, attention has been focused on fracture reduction, bone density has been used to reflect fracture risk.
