Whether calcium deficiency is judged

The human body consists of more than 60 elements, and 11 elements such as calcium and oxygen account for 99.95% of the total weight of the human body. They are constant elements. Calcium promotes the development of the skeleton and teeth of humans, increases the permeability of cells, and the presence of calcium in the form of ions in the blood is a commonly used electrolyte. Calcium deficiency in adults can lead to osteoporosis, leg cramps, etc. Children with calcium deficiency can cause rickets, circumvallation and other diseases, as well as nighttime crying and convulsions.

Whether a person is calcium deficient or not, there is a scientific judgment standard. Adults contain 900 to 3200 micrograms of calcium per gram of hair are within the normal range, and less than 900 micrograms for calcium deficiency; children's normal calcium content per gram of hair should be Between 500 and 2000 micrograms, the content is less than 250 micrograms for severe calcium deficiency, 350 micrograms for moderate calcium deficiency, and 450 micrograms for general calcium deficiency.

According to this standard, Professor Zhao Guanghan, deputy director of the China Trace Elements Research Association and director of the Institute of Trace Elements and Health of Gansu Province, used an atomic absorption spectrometer to perform typical tests on more than 10,000 children and adults in Lanzhou City in recent years. The results showed that the calcium deficiency rate in children was about 40%, and the calcium deficiency rate in pregnant women was only 10%. The other adults had no calcium deficiency.

Professor Zhao said that for the general lack of calcium, by adjusting the diet structure, eat more beans, milk, meat and other foods can be improved. Patients with moderate and severe calcium deficiency need to take drugs and health products. Nowadays, some manufacturers promote their products, exaggerate the role of calcium in the human body in advertisements, and adverse consequences caused by calcium deficiency. They deify their product performance. Unscientific commercial language may cause panic for all people with calcium deficiency. Cause people blindly calcium. To this end, Prof. Zhao Guanghan called for people to properly grasp medical knowledge. The relevant departments should strengthen the supervision and management of drug advertisements, eliminate misleading and purify the market.
