Wu F, et al. - The Cardiovascular Risk in Young Finns Study (YFS), a 31-year prospective cohort study, was undertaken to determine if with adult impaired glucose metabolism and type 2 diabetes (T2D) are correlated with youth and long-term (between youth and adulthood) dietary calcium intake. The study sample consisted of 1,134 participants (aged 3-18 years at baseline). For this investigation, they evaluated dietary calcium intake at baseline (1980) and adult follow-ups (2001, 2007 and 2011). In addition, they calculated long-term (mean between youth and adulthood) dietary calcium intake. Among females and males, no evidence was found for non-linear links between calcium intake and impaired fasting glucose (IFG) or T2D. Among females or males after adjustment for confounders including youth and adult BMI, higher youth and long-term dietary calcium intake was not related to the risk of IFG or T2D. Overall, they concluded that the adult risk of developing impaired glucose metabolism or T2D is not associated with youth or long-term dietary calcium intake.
