The supplement contained 1000 mg Ca and was consumed between meals 5 d\/week, for 1 year starting 1.5 weeks postpartum. Compliance was 100%. Plasma ferritin concentration, plasma Zn concentration and urinary Mg output were measured before, during and after supplementation at 1.5, 13, 52 and 78 weeks postpartum. No significant differences in mineral status were observed at any time between women in the supplement and placebo group. Analysis of the longitudinal data series showed that plasma ferritin and Mg excretion were characteristic of the indivdiual (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> &lt; 0\u00b7001). Within individuals, ferritin concentration was higher at 1.5 weeks postpartum than later in lactation (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> = 0.002). Plasma Zn concentration was lower at 1.5 weeks postpartum than at other tima (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> &lt; 0\u00b7001), an effect which disappeared after albumin correction. Low plasma concentrations of ferritin and Zn indicated that the Gambian women were at high risk of Fe and Zn deficiency. Measurements of \u03b1<jats:sub>1<\/jats:sub>-antichymotrypsin suggested that the results were not confounded by acute-phase responses. The results of the present study indicate that 1000 mg Ca as CaCO<jats:sub>3<\/jats:sub> given between meals does not deleteriously affect plasma ferritin and Zn concentrations or urinary Mg excretion in women who are at risk of Fe and Zn deficiency<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1079\/bjn19960089","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2005,6,11]],"date-time":"2005-06-11T18:09:04Z","timestamp":1118513344000},"page":"821-831","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":37,"title":["The effect of long-term calcium supplementation on indices of iron, zinc and magnesium status in lactating Gambian women"],"prefix":"10.1017","volume":"76","author":[{"given":"Liya","family":"Yan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ann","family":"Prentice","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Bakary","family":"Dibba","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Landing M.
