Abstract
Summary There is a great deal of uncertainty concerning the requirements of calcium for skeletal health. Some argue that all mixed diets contain sufficient calcium whereas others suggest that most of the world's population is calcium deficient. This paper reviews the sources of these conflicting views and the assumptions on which both are based.Keywords
