Association between urinary potassium, urinary sodium, current diet, and bone density in prepubertal children
Background: Our understanding of the role of nutrients in bone development in children is limited. Objective: We examined the associations between urinary potassium, urinary sodium, usual dietary intake, and bone mineral density (BMD) in prepubertal children. Design: This was a cross-sectional study of 330 boys and girls aged 8 y. Urinary measures were assessed in […]

Fruit size, mineral composition and quality of trickle-irrigated tomatoes as affected by potassium rates
An experiment was conducted to determine the fruit size, mineral composition and quality of trickle-irrigated tomatoes as affected by potassium fertilizer rates. Six potassium (K) rates were applied as KCl, corresponding to 0, 48.4, 118.6, 188.8, 259.0 and 399.4 kg ha(-1), with four replicates, following a randomized block design. Quadratic responses to K rates were […]

Dietary influences on bone mass and bone metabolism : further evidence of a positive link between fruit and vegetable consumption and bone health?
Background: The role of nutritional influences on bone health remains largely undefined because most studies have focused attention on calcium intake.Objective: We reported previously that intakes of nutrients found in abundance in fruit and vegetables are positively associated with bone health. We examined this finding further by considering axial and peripheral bone mass and markers […]

Fruit and vegetable intake in relation to risk of ischemic stroke
« Context Few studies have evaluated the relationship between fruit and vegetable intake and cardiovascular disease. Objective To examine the associations between fruit and vegetable intake and ischemic stroke. Design, Setting, and Subjects Prospective cohort studies, including 75 596 women aged 34 to 59 years in the Nurses’ Health Study with 14 years of follow-up (1980-1994), […]

Potassium, magnesium, and fruit and vegetable intakes are associated with greater bone mineral density in elderly men and women
BACKGROUND: Osteoporosis and related fractures will be growing public health problems as the population ages. It is therefore of great importance to identify modifiable risk factors. OBJECTIVE: We investigated associations between dietary components contributing to an alkaline environment (dietary potassium, magnesium, and fruit and vegetables) and bone mineral density (BMD) in elderly subjects. DESIGN: Dietary […]
