ABSTRACT

Calcium (Ca^sup 2+^) intake may play a role in the regulation of body weight. Increased Ca^sup 2+^ intake has been associated with lower body weight, BMI, and adiposity measures in cross-sectional studies. We examined the association between Ca^sup 2+^ intake, derived from the Willett FFQ, and overall and abdominal adiposity in Black and White men and women of the HERITAGE Family Study. BMI, the percentage of body fat (%FAT), the sum of 8 skinfold thicknesses, computerized tomography total abdominal fat (TAF), abdominal visceral (AVF) and abdominal subcutaneous (ASF) fat, and waist circumference were measured in 362 men (109 Blacks, 253 Whites) and 462 women (201 Blacks, 261 ...
